Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Baños es un lugar para el turismo de aventura. Puedes ir a deacansar. Obvio, pero la naturaleza y el entorno te invita a salir de la comodidad del hotel y disfrutar de las actividades extremas y divertidas.

I hired the Ivagatours travel agency to do several tours around Baños.
One of the tours was the climb to the top of the volcano for two days.
My mountaineer and private guide was Ñato. No one on the trails, refuge or summit.
*****
A two day hiking and climbing.
It is no longer acclimatization to high altitudes. It's a serious climb with a private guide. There was no one but us for two days.
Because of the snow avalanches, it is advisable to get up at dawn, as the snow is still solid and down shortly after the morning sun starts to get strong, shortly after 7:00 am.
It's my first climb to mountain peaks or volcanoes in the dark of the cold, starless dawn.
***The FIRST Day of Climbing:
Rent appropriate equipment for this volcano (rain, cold, snow, sand, stone, darkness, etc.)
The mountaineering guide, Ñato, and I left Baños at 2:30 pm.
We arrived at the park entrance, signed the official papers, paid the required and started up the well-marked and steep trail from the park entrance to the Refugio. It is usually 4 hours of trail (5km/3,1mi).
We left at 3:28 pm from the park entrance at 2,790 meters (9,153 ft) and arrived at the Refuge at 3,810 meters (12,500 ft) at 6:00 pm. We managed to do it in 2.5h. I stopped several times to photograph the blue sky, mountains, nature, etc. I wanted to see the sunset at 6:20 pm. from the "Refugio" and we saw the beautiful sunset.
We had seafood risotto dinner at 6:54 pm.
We slept from 7:40 pm to 1:30 am.
***The SECOND day of Climbing:
Waking up, light breakfast taken and we prepared with the proper equipment at 1:30 am.
We start climbing at 2:00 am from the Refuge at 3,810 meters (12,500 ft) to the summit of the Throat of Fire volcano. At 6:52 am, we reached the summit of the volcano at 5,023 meters (16,479 ft).
A few minutes to five full hours of dawn climb, a part with rain, full dark and just a forehead flashlight to illuminate, steep, loose and slippery rocks, soft sand, snow in the final 40 minutes, very cold in the glacial region, 6ºC (42,8ºF) at the summit (but on the way at dawn it was colder), no music to hear the guide's instructions, loneliness, attention, tiredness, fear, new, and an accomplished achievement of a 54-year-old man. My physical and mental limit has been tested again.
36 minutes at the summit of the mega volcano, as the wind is sharp and cold, and the descent before the glacier begins to melt with the Ecuadorian sun.
The descent is rapid, but it is much more tiring and the knees have to be physically well prepared to withstand the ligament grip. Go down the volcano seeing the cliffs? You don't see anything rising at dawn, but you know it will rise at 5,000 meters (16,404 ft).
* From 7:29 am to 9:09 am (1h: 39m) - 5,023 meters to 3,810 meters (1km21m) (from the summit to Refuge);
* From 9:28 am to 11:43 am (3:16 am) - 3,810 meters to 2,800 meters (1km10m) (from Refuge to Park Entrance);
There are four quick steps downhill in one go with photo stops, rest and breakfast in the refuge:
From 5,023 meters (16,479 ft) to 2,800 meters (9,186 ft) (2km220m/1,37 miles downhill in zig zag and steep in 4h: 45m).
1º) The first part of the glacier with snow. Slippery and loose stones with snow;
2º) The second part of the ash of the volcano, that is, soft sand with loose and hard stones;
3º) Low vegetation until the Refuge. At the Refuge, we change clothes, clean the place, put everything in our backpacks, and go down after a quick coffee to the park entrance;
4º) From the refuge to the entrance of the park the trail is demarcated and the vegetation increases the volume and height.
I had the next day the largest volcano in the world, the Chimborazo, the volcano with the farthest peak from the center of the earth and closer to the sun, higher than Everest.
I descended this volcano by mountain bike. After Chimborazo, I climbed two more volcanoes. In total there were 8 climbs in Ecuador in 18 days.
One of the tours was the climb to the top of the volcano for two days.
My mountaineer and private guide was Ñato. No one on the trails, refuge or summit.

Eventually I did not hike up the normal route to the summit of 5.023 m high Tungurahua. The problem is not the difficulty of the terrain, but the approach, orientation and gear you need. Moreover there is the weather factor.
Baños is at 1850 m, while the trail starts at the national park entrance near (not at) the hamlet of Pondoa (altitude 2540 m). There is no public transportation to Pondoa (only to Juive at 5 km distance from Pondoa). The alternative to walking up is to take a taxi.
There is a refugio at >3800 m. This facility is more like a shelter. There is water, a stove and a pot to boil water, mattresses, but no blankets. It costs 10$ to stay there overnight (payable in Pondoa or at the park entrance). It takes 4 hours to get from the park entrance to the refugio. There is a trail.
From the refugio most groups take 6 hours to get to the summit. The reason why hikers take so much time is scree. You sink into it, so two steps up is one down. To get down goes faster, but is hard on the knees (three hours to get back to the refugio). From the refugio down to the park entrance most hikers need another 4 hours. All quite doable.
However, you have to take into account that the route from the refugio to the summit is NOT marked and when there is fog difficult to find. There are no detailed maps, so even with a compass it is difficult, when weather conditions are bad (wind, rain, hail, snow, fog). Weather forecasts in the Andes are unreliable.
Gear can be rented in Baños. Minimal requirements: you need good shoes (often the right sizes for westerners are not available), a sleeping bag, wind and waterproof jacket, warm clothes, a headlamp if you decide to start hiking at night.
An option is to take a guide. Tour organizers quote a price of 200$ per person which includes gear, transport to the park entrance, use of the refugio, meal. Prices are perhaps negotiable if you manage to get a (large) group together.
Best views of the route are from Las Antennas on a hill north of the Pastaza river near Baños. If you cross the main bridge near the Baños bus terminal towards the north and walk up the road a bit, you can assess the weather conditions on the north side of the volcano, as the summit is very well visible.
The fantasy map of the tourist office mixes up north and south, east and west!

If you are lucky enough to see this on an clear day, you are in for a treat. Even if a little cloudy, the views are still stunning. Would love to go back again.

We lucked out with perfect weather during our three days in Banos. Tungurahua was always visible as it towered over the canyon imbedded town of Banos. Views from the Tree House were especially impressive. No volcanic activity during our stay, but that was OK.

Most of our stay it was shrouded in clouds. We drove from Banos to Patate to Pelileo... all around with views of the volcano. Enjoy your stay and hope you enjoy the lovely views!

La zona es espectacular, a un lado y al otro ves las selvas de sendos parques nacionales y, además, tuvimos la suerte de poder ver el volcán sin una sola nube con unas condiciones meteorológicas únicas. Se sube por carretera casi hasta su base. Allí cerca está la Casa del Árbol. Merece la pena la visita si el tiempo es bueno.

Hola, Si deseo escalar el volcan Tungurahua, se puede hacer? Tienen guias o tour para estas actividades? Gracias.
Skrevet 11. oktober 2016
Hola! No. Es un volcán que está en actividad. Nosotros lo vimos embargo auto y no cerca. Por lo que averigüe desde Baños hacen excursiones nocturnas para ver el fuego... obviamente no desde muy cerca.
