TREKKING IN ECUADOR - VOLCANOES, MOUNTAINS AND JUNGLE!
Some of the best trekking in the world
Here are two good reasons to start thinking about doing some trekking in Ecuador: one is that it quite simply offers some of the best high-altitude trekking in the world, and the other is that the treks are much more accessible than equivalent treks in Peru, Argentina or the Himalayas.
There are a dozen 5000m+ volcanoes within 70 miles of Quito, and the countryside in-between makes for some truly breathtaking trekking. Ecuador's famous Cotopaxi National Park is the centrepiece of this natural splendour and we have some great treks there for all experience levels.
Ain't no mountain high enough
Quite apart from the fun you can have trekking in Ecuador, what's really fantastic is how many of Ecuador's mountains offer straight-forward, non-technical ascents, meaning that even inexperienced walkers can end their trek with the sense of achievement that comes from climbing a bona fide mountain. After some trekking to boost your acclimatization, and after warming up on a smaller peak such as Illiniza Norte it's even possible people with no prior experience to climb Cotopaxi - an experience that will definitely stay with you forever!
