First-hand mountain reviews, route tips, and trail guides

Puracé

In the base exist allocation, this allocation is managed by people of the indigenous community. It is safe enough to sleep and eat. You can go to the top of the volcano and return to the hostel, in one day.

The place to visit is behind of the summit of the Purace. There is a line of big craters of volcanoes, incredible, and the end is a peak called "Pan de Zzucar".
The way to go there, is in three days: The first you go to the Purace top and pass behind, walk by the line of craters and go to do the camp in a small lake, aprox 2 hour behind of the summit.

The next day, go to the top of the Pan de Azucar and return to the camp.
The last day return to the base.

Some days the weather could be very heavy, go prepared for wind and the rain. If the weather is clear of cloud you can make the route by yourself. If cloudy, it is better to have a guide from the community.

Imbabura Volcano

Begin from village of Cashaloma. Highly recommended to start at or before 6am, or the summit ridge will almost certainly become cloudy and make conditions more dangerous. Very steep and enduring climb. If planning on going to second summit, be safe and sure footed, the last section before the 2nd summit needs climbing. Views are perfect when clear, 360° from the maximum elevation. Very difficult mountain, but well signposted all the way through with an obvious trail.

Got to the Teleferico station at 0800hrs and there was already a line to buy tickets to head up.
We hit the trail at around 0845hrs and reached the summit about 2.5 hrs later. As we were making our way up the fog/clouds started closing in pretty quickly, which made it a bit difficult to figure out which way to go (sure, All Trails provides a route, but the last 0.3 miles is mostly scrambling).
We reached the summit with the guidance of a local who makes it up every weekend.
The summit was windy, to be expected at those elevations, and made our way back down after a 15 minute break.
The way down was definitely easier, with regard to knowing which rocky path to head down towards.

All in all, this is a great hike to acclimate when taking on higher summits in Ecuador.

Pasochoa

Pasochoa is an easy wlak up with nice views of the interandean valley. Starting point should be the town of Amaguaña (just south-east of Quito). At the center you can organize a pick-up truck which will take you up to 3300m. From there follow the narrow path for about 1½ hours up to the treeless paramo. after this point it is important that you have view of the peak, because if it is foggy or cloudy you might follow one of the countless cow-paths and might get lost. Another danger are the Bulls which are specially kept up here in the high alpine pasture to make them more aggressive for "el torrero". Avoid them.

In dry season (Nov.-Feb.) the rivers my dry out so bring enough water with you. However Pasochoa can be climbed year around.
Keep on hiking up the pastures until you are below the main peak. From here are two possibilities. At the right edge is a small path which goes up to the top, but very steep if you fall into the crater. The other option is to walk around the summit block which is only about 250m, and then climb the south edge up to the summit.

Summary:
Easy access
Often quite windy at the crater edge
In foggy condition danger of getting lost
