TREKKING IN ECUADOR - VOLCANOES, MOUNTAINS AND JUNGLE!
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 and most beautiful high-altitude trekking in the world, and the other is that the treks are much more accessible than equivalent treks elsewhere in South America or Asia: many of the treks start within just a couple of hours drive of Quito and there are a huge variety of treks, suitable for every experience level.
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!
We can add a trek into any of our Ecuador holidays, so take a look at some of options below:
Our Ecuador treks
