We hiked up to the Jose F. Rivas refuge which is the most popular and frequented refuge in Ecuador. It is located on the northern flanks of Volcano at 4,800 m! Our guide had brought some coca tea and warm clothing for us as it gets pretty cold at that altitude and the air it getting very thin, so every step becomes an effort. For those who want to make it to the top a glacier training and an overnight stay at the refuge are proposed.⠀⠀
