Ecuador · Peru · Galápagos
Summit Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, walk the Salkantay or the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, circle Huayhuash or hike the Galápagos on foot. Every trip lasts two days or more and is planned around the altitude.
2+ days per trip, minimum
We only run expeditions of 2+ days: long days on the trail and time to go for the summit. If your dates are tight, send them over and we'll fit a route around them.
2:1 climbers per guide above 5,000 m
Certified guides, born and raised in the Andes. They know how each route changes from one season to the next.
½ of sea-level oxygen at 5,897 m
We plan each itinerary so your body adjusts to the altitude first. That raises your odds on summit day and makes the climb safer.
Trekking programs of up to fifteen days and volcano climbs of two to six, from the refuges of the central Andes to the lava trails of the Galápagos, with the acclimatisation planned day by day.

Stand on the point of the planet closest to the sun. Chimborazo is Ecuador's highest summit, a demanding multi-day glaciated climb that we build around several days of acclimatization.
Price on request
Climb · Cotopaxi, Ecuador
A guided multi-day ascent of the best-known glacier on the equator. It is non-technical, but the summit is serious, so we build acclimatization days in until your body is ready for it.

From the Salkantay and the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu to the Huayhuash circuit, run with licensed local operators and planned around the altitude.
Trek · Áncash, Peru
Ten days of camping around a compact range with seven summits over 6,000 m, glacial lakes under the ice and passes close to 5,000 m. It is remote and hard, and the views from the passes are the reason people come back.
FromUS$2,190 per person
Trek · Cusco, Peru
The high road to Machu Picchu: over the Salkantay Pass at about 4,630 m, down through cloud forest and coffee farms, and up to the citadel. No permit needed for the trek, which makes it the trek you can still book when the Inca Trail is sold out.
FromUS$990 per person
Trek · Cusco / Apurímac, Peru
An Inca city on a ridge above the Apurímac canyon, reached only on foot and visited by about 8,000 people a year, against thousands a day at Machu Picchu. Walk there and back in five days, or carry on over the mountains to Machu Picchu in ten.
FromUS$1,190 per person
Trek · Áncash, Peru
Four days through the Cordillera Blanca, over Punta Unión at about 4,750 m and down the Santa Cruz valley under Alpamayo and Taulliraju. The classic first trek in Peru's highest range, best done after a few days of acclimatisation hikes from Huaraz.
FromUS$790 per person

Trek · Cusco, Peru
A circuit around Ausangate (6,384 m), the sacred mountain of Cusco, almost entirely above 4,500 m: glacial lakes, herds of alpacas, hot springs at both ends and the highest pass of any classic Peru trek, at about 5,200 m.
