    Wonderful 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!

    Response from the operator: Great, thank you very much, we really work hard to give you high-quality attention and service, thank you for leaving us this beautiful review, we appreciate it very much, always welcome

    Chimborazo 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!

    Response from the operator: Dear Marie, Thank you very much. We greatly appreciate the time you have taken to write to us great, we are not very happy that you liked it And of course we always have the program visible on our website when you hire our services, so it clearly details what we are going to do and what is included in the tour, they are really very affordable prices Thanks again and always welcome..

    Great 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!

    Response from the operator: Great Thank you very much, we are happy that you liked it and that you shared your experience with us. We hope to see you again very soon. Regards from a distance

    This 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.

    Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baños.

    How much does Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador cost?

    +

    Prices start at $128 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baños usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baños is not rushed.

    Is Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baños, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baños can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baños and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chimborazo Day Trip - Baños-Riobamba Ecuador start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baños within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Baños?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Baños experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rafting Tour, Full Day Baths, The Best Extreme Canyoning -Cashaurco in -Banos Ecuador. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Baños?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Baños?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
