Activities

This is a wonderful spot to enjoy a range of activities, with some very exciting options just a stones throw away. Enjoy a city tour of Riobamba, ride the world famous Devil’s Nose and visit indigenous markets. Climb or trek the Chimborazo Province through various ecosystems. To get even further out, try horse riding, where it may be possible to 5 volcanoes from a certain point, observe the migratory birds around Colca Lake or visit the village of Cajabamba. You can also go mountain biking through Chimborazo or Colca, take a Lake tour or join a polo class.

You can also follow the trails of the ‘ice farmers’, as eachTuesday and Friday they chip away ice blocks from the Chimborazo Volcano to be used in the preparation of the famous ‘raspados’ snow cones.
