Most itineraries use Latacunga, Cayambe, and Riobamba as the key access bases for Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, and Cayambe, with summit days linked by transfers rather than one continuous trail. Arrivals from the UK usually begin with london -> quito, then private overland loop before the route moves on between the mountain bases.
