| dielotr | Fuya Fuya lower summit  Date Climbed: Jan 20, 2013 | |
| Climbed Fuya Fuya lower summit from Laguna Mojanda campsite with Universidad de San Francisco Quito's Andinismo class. Easy hike on a trail through paramo for most of the journey. If I come back, swimming in that volcanic lake and climbing Cerro Negro are on my to-do list. | ||

| Garon Coriz | Great Escape from Quito Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2012 | |
| The 24-hour shifts at the Maternidad Isidro Ayora were started to get to me. Luckily, I found a few new Ecuadorian friends willing and able to explore. The peak wasn't too cold, but there were some powerful gusts of wind. Cayambe was concealed by clouds but the volcanic chain all the way to Illiniza was visible. The mountains are bigger than they appear in photos. Amazing! | |

| wmolland | Fuya Fuya and Cerro Negro Date Climbed: Jan 14, 2011 | |
| Climbed both peaks in a pleasant day from Laguna Mojanda. The top of Cerro Negro was a bit slippery and muddy but nothing too bad, although getting from the road to the trail up Cerro Negro proved to be quite a challenge. Two splendid peaks towering above Otavalo. | |

| Boriss Andean | Bad weather, no views. Date Climbed: Dec 15, 2010 | |
| Climbed with Rob (HOL) to the true summit (4,263 m / 13,982 ft) in only 2 hours RT. Light rain accompanied us all the way up to the summit. The final rocky wall was wet but we managed to scrambled it up. The best part of the climb! We didn't have good views except for the Andean range covered totally by snow in the distance from North to South as low as 4,000m meters. | |

| Boriss Andean | Great weather, awesome views!! Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2010 | |
| Climbed Fuya Fuya's northeastern summit (which involves less technical climbing than the true western summit) with my five new friends from Poland, Belgium and Holland. We had great weather and awesome views of the surroundings, including views of volcanoes as far as Chimborazo to the south and Chiles to the north. | |

| ncst | Both on a day hike from Otavalo Date Climbed: Feb 13, 2010 | |
| I took a taxi from the panamericana to Laguna Mojanda. Walked through the paja on the normal route to the first peak of Fuya Fuya in a hour, then twenty minutes over the rim to the real summit. Then walked the road around the lake the the Cerro Negro trailhead (1,5 hrs). Good views on top, some clouds. There is a map a the trailhead, and then signs all the way to the top. Lots of false summits but then got to the real summit of Cerro Negro. Went down on the back to the road. Got a ride back to the Panamericana near Cayemba from some nice folks from Quito. Saw caracaras around Cerro Negro, colibries and smaller birds. | |
