Climbing Rucu Pichincha Volcano Next to Quito

Seth Allan Ames and Nate Skinner climb Rucu Pichincha. Video starts from Hostal Huauki in the Mariscal District of Quito and ends at the very top of Rucu Pichincha. We use a taxi, the Teleferico, horseback, and foot travel to make it to the top.
Its an easy acclimatization climb before attempting larger mountains such as Cotopaxi.


According to ECUADOR A CLIMBING GUIDE no one should attempt to climb Rucu Pichincha on account of robberies, assults and rapes that happen while attempting the climb.

have to say thank you to the horse---

[tropicalanimal]

Good Call! The horse deserves his due:)

[sofiafeliz]

My man, you forgot to tell the cab driver to turn on the "TAXIMETRO" :)

[tropicalanimal]

Your right! And he tried to charge me 6 dollars!!

[Ecuapana]

10 dollars! Please be aware of the value of the dollar in Ecuador

I know that Ecuadorians are very tricky and will try to trick you in the costs

[tropicalanimal]

Im very aware of that:) I've been living here since 2005. I now negociate when I feel like it. Sometimes it frustrates me. Sometimes I get a better deal than Ecuadorians because I am a tour guide. If you look at my other video called travel tips you can find out how to not get ripped off while taking a taxi in Quito. I will be climbing other mountains like Cotopaxi so please subscribe and you will be informed when I post them. Thanks for the advise Ecuapana.
