 Mountain Climbing Adventures…
Journey among the highest peaks in Ecuador, located along Volcano Avenue: a valley nestled between the Andes, composed by the Eastern and the Western mountain ranges. The Andes are a relatively new mountain range, and are lined with several active volcanoes, including mighty Cotopaxi, and other tough ascents of rock and ice, like the Altar.
We provide climbing adventure opportunities for any experience level. For a beginner, it is important to acclimatize for these kind of adventures; we recommend warming up on the smaller peaks, such as Iliniza Norte, Pasochoa, Rumiñahui, Imbabura or Pichincha, with no glaciers and close proximity to Quito. Once you feel ready, is time to climb the four giants: Chimborazo, Cayambe, Tungurahua and of course, Cotopaxi, which summits at a gasping 19,637 ft. On the other hand, if you are already an expert, you can attempt Antizana, Altar or Iliniza Sur, which require more experience and offer a greater challenge. Other opportunities for the truly adventurous include Reventador, Sangay and Sumaco, with their lack of set ascent paths. Furthermore, our impressive Andes are not just barren mountains and volcanoes, but are covered in life, with huge natural refuges, in the cloud forest, the paramo, and other ecosystems that are a wonder to behold. >>Up
 Trekking and Hiking Adventures…
Despite being one of the smallest countries in South America, Ecuador has some of the most varied geography on the continent. Here, you can experience it all, over craggy mountains, through ancient native forests and paramos, passing through the misty morning fog to some of the most spectacular vistas on the planet. Whatever you wish wish to find, Ecuador can deliver. One of the most awe-inspiring sensations you can feel is to experience the dramatic changes between the various regions of this nation, each with their own distinct climate, geography and ecosystems.
Hiking adventure programs can be anywhere from one to several days. The treks are suited to anyone in good physical condition with the will to endure time away from the shelter of civilization.
Trekking and hiking is possible in almost every corner of Ecuador. We recommend trekking on the western slopes of the Northern Andes and in the Amazon. For multi-day treks it is also suggested you hire a guide, for the benefit of local knowledge, and because it’s easy to get lost. >>Up
 Horseback Riding…
Imagine this: the feel the wind in your face, the smooth flow of the horse beneath you, the exhilaration of riding at full gallop coursing through your veins, all the while passing through exotic landscapes… Ecuador has a wide territory to ride across with haciendas and lodges for you to tie up and allow you and your animal to relax after a hard day´s ride.
Horses have been inseparable companions to the people of the Andes people for centuries, this is the reason why the best way to get to know the Andes is on horseback. We offer rides from several hours up to full trips of up to eight days. You can visit unimaginable places that can only be reached by horse, stay in one of the region´s ancient haciendas and experience the magic of the Andes. >>Up
 Rafting and Kayaking…
Prepare for nature, up close and personal, when you visit the water paradises of Ecuador. Kayaking and rafting are two of the most exciting ways to get in touch with natural world, and the rivers of Ecuador offer some of the fastest-paced, and most rewarding, rafting and kayaking to be had on the planet.
To go on a rafting or kayaking trip, you do not have to be an expert, rivers are ranked on a scale of 1 to 6, with 1 being a very tame stream, to 6, being death-defying vertical drops through roaring whitewater, so don´t worry, whatever your experience level, Ecuador invites you to inundate yourself in its waters! >>Up |
