5Wonderful trip!
I found Ivagatours to be very professional, efficient and friendly. Adolfo, as promised, texted me that there were more turists interested in going to Chimborazo while I was going to get on this trip the very last minute. Our guide Alfredo was full of energy, knowledgeable, accommodating and a lot of fun. It all made this trip very memorable and special. Thank you Ivagatours!
3Chimborazo tour, a nice shuttle service
With Ivagatours,we went on the Chimborazo tour. It was really nice, we were really well taken care of. But it is expensive for what it is. The guide, the kind Alberto, thanks to him he's a love, took us to the Chimborazo through the 2 hours ride to there. It's a bit long, but all right, because we had to pass through Riobamba on a Saturday (day of fiestas and mercados). We arrived to the first refuge, the guide left us to go up to the 2nd refuge alone. He didn't come with us. We got up, had fun with some other people, really nice experience. Then we got down, and we went to eat. At this time it was about 14-15h. Then we went back to Baños. Also, we've been told everything we needed for the tour, but I'd like to add that up there, there is snow, it's about 4-5°C, so get dressed pretty warm, with hats and gloves. So, I would say it's a really nice tour, but a bit expensive for the service (it's pretty much just a shuttle service to Chimborazo). Thanks to Alberto, a really nice guide, that gives informations about Ecuador in the way, and has a really nice energy!
5Great volcano trip
We took a tour to Chimborazu with Alberto. We left around 9am and were back by 5:30pm, having lunch after the hike around 3pm in a local restaurant. Alberto told us about geographical features of the area on the way to the volcano and pointed out any animals of interest. Make sure you have warm clothes to hike the volcano and hiking boots are ideal. We were lucky enough to see hummingbirds at the lagoon!
5This is a MUST
The main objective is Chimborazo hike, but on the way there were many sights to see. For example active volcano Tungurauha, peculiar stratum, and cute wild pequena in the mountainous area. The guide Albert was giving us explanations timely, and so kind and patient that he waits us for our taking a lot of photos. The main track to lake Condor took 1h+ walk to 5100m. Thanks to the guide who gave us appropriate advise and kept a good pace, we managed to get there without any problems, even one of our friends are complete novice in climbing. Without any doubt this was a great experience.
5Chimborazo volcano tour
It was a great tour! The guide is fluent in English and teach us about Chimborazo and Ecuador mountains. We enjoyed the whole process.
5Awesome Trip to Chimborazo
Amazing Trip to Chimborazo! Perfecto weather conditions to see the top of the Mountain and the vulcano Tungurahua. The guide Patrice Was awesome and it was well organised. Totally recommend this.

About Baños
Baños, in the Ecuadorian Andes, is a small town in a green valley under the Tungurahua volcano, known for hot springs and waterfalls.
Baños de Agua Santa lies at about 1,800 metres, where the Andes drop towards the Amazon basin, on the Pastaza River in Tungurahua province. The town grew around its thermal baths, fed by volcanic springs, and around the Basilica of the Virgin of the Holy Water, a pilgrimage church of dark stone. Tungurahua volcano rises above the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Baños: Casa del Arbol Swing, Cascada Manto de la Novia, Pastaza River.
