 Iliniza Norte | Iliniza Sur | Accommodation | Transport | Book a Tour | Write a review about the Ilinizas  | | | A good base point to access the Ilinizas is Machachi. The Ilinizas is a part of the Reserva Ecológica Los llinizas. The entrance fee to the Ilinizas is US$5. The exciting peaks are very popular amongst adventurous climbers. The access.- There is a turnoff on the Panamericana (unsigned) some 8 Km from Machachi which most locals know, especially cab drivers. Then, follow a 7 km cobbled road to El Chaupi. Keep following the road for another 9 Km until you reach a parking place (with a Virgin statue). You can camp here for free, but it's not recommended. From "The Virgin" to the refuge (4650m) is about 3 to
4 hours' walk. |  Iliniza Norte (5,120 m) | | From the "refugio" it is some 2 to 3 hours' climb to the Iliniza Norte through a not very safe but well defined trail. So, be cautious. | | Iliniza Sur (5,247 m) | | | This is the sixth highest peak of Ecuador and a much more difficult
climb than Iliniza Norte. Mountaineers must be very experienced and have a suitable technical equipment. It takes approximately 4 1/2 hours to climb this mountain. The southern area of Reserva Ecológica Los Ilinizas can be reached as well from Latacunga. | | Accommodation | | | Important Notice: If you wish to book in advance any of the below listed haciendas, visit our online Hotel reservation form.
