Ecuador is the perfect place to learn climbing and mountaineering skills. Alpenglow's team climbs Cotopaxi, which at 19,347 feet, is the world's highest active volcano. Climbers explore Quito, visit Otavalo, and once the team is on Cotopaxi, they build climbing skills on snow and ice and learn everything from crampon and ice axe techniques to traveling on a rope team and crevasse rescue. The views from the summit of Cotopaxi are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and look directly into the the active volcanic crater and over the surrounding horizon.
