Mainland Ecuador
The Avenue of the Volcanoes is our backyard: Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, the Quilotoa Loop, Cayambe and the Ilinizas. We run each one as a fully guided multi-day route.
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.

Climb · Chimborazo, Ecuador
