Acclimatization at Imbabura volcano

The Imbabura Volcano is a volcano located in the province of the same name in Ecuador, with an altitude of 4,640 meters above sea level.

To the north of this volcano, at a distance of approximately 10 kilometers, is Ibarra, a small town full of friendly people, here we can find a small town called Otavalo, and to the south is Lake San Pablo. The ascent to this volcano will be a simple hike, for this it is recommended to bring warm clothes, hydration and food for the way to the summit.

The flora and fauna of the forests surrounding Imbabura is diverse and very beautiful, allowing you to discover a little more about the natural diversity of the area.

We begin by heading through the eastern part of the volcano to the indigenous community of Casha Loma, located at 3,500 meters above sea level, reaching the north summit after 5 hours of hiking, and the return is approximately 3 1/2 hours by the same route.
