Ecuador Off The Beaten Path: 74 reviews and 86 photos

  Urbina: highest point on now defunct Andes Railway
by richiecdisc
 
 

It’s hard to call Chimborazo off the beaten path. After all, it is Ecuador’s highest peak at nearly 21,000 feet and is easy to arrange climbs even on short notice but the average tourist is unlikely to see more than a fleeting glimpse of the great extinct volcano from either the plane or bus if they are lucky. If you really want to get close to the massive peak, please check out the details on my Chimborazo page.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
