TREKKING IN ECUADOR

Community tourism Our hiking tours are developed not just to provide fun and entertainment but to help conserve some of Ecuador's most delicate and beautiful ecosystems by promoting positive interaction between tourists, the communities and their stunning surroundings. Our purpose is "to protect, to care and to have fun".

By participating on our trekking tours you will be immersed in all the wonderful scenery that Ecuador offers, while helping the community people benefit from your visit by staying in their hostels and eating in their restaurants. This helps provide income and encourages communities to preserve their beautiful scenery in order to attract more tourists; a good example of sustainable development.

With Ecuador having 4 incredible zones; the mountains, the jungle, the Galapagos and the coast, plus all the wonderful cloud forest you will find in the transitional areas, there are simply thousands of kilometers of great treks to be had, and we will ensure that you experience the best of them:

Trek the Andean mountain paths and their wild moorland; trek through humid cloud forest and its verdant vegetation; trek through the Amazon basin and under its numerous waterfalls; trek to the coast and into its dry forests, the adventures are there, just awaiting your arrival...

Our trekking programs can be organized as getaways into nature or as part of an acclimatization program with a view to climbing some of the Andean peaks.

We have divided our trekking tours into four levels, according to duration and terrain, but please note we have many one-day excursions as well as longer programs, or expedition routes.

4 Experts:

Levels 3 and 4 are considered expeditions due to the fact that the places do not have established routes and have dense vegetation. Safety systems are required in order to pass rivers, cascades and canyons.
