We went from El Chaupi to the Corazón. Our ascent began at the entrance to the Reserva, where we left the car. Then we followed the dirt road to the marked junction of the path to Corazón. From now on we went on muddy paths through the Paramo up to a ridge that led us directly to the summit. This path climbs very steeply in places. One point, a rather exposed rock transition, is a bit daring to cross, but almost everyone can master it with concentration and the use of hands. However, normal dogs have problems here. The point is about 30 minutes from the summit. After overcoming this passage, it goes on with easy scrambling to the summit.
If several people are on the move, a helmet is a good idea because of the risk of stones being kicked.
I have now been to the Corazón twice and unfortunately, despite the early start (ascent from 6:30 a.m.), the weather never allowed me a clear view of the summit. The photos of the Ilinizas, the Cotopaxi, Ruminahui, Sincholagua and even the Antisana were only possible at the beginning of the hike.
The ascent to the summit took about 4 hours. We had taken a few breaks.
