Expeditions
Every multi-day trek & climb
All our expeditions are two days or more. Filter by region, province or type to find yours.
Climbing Chimborazo
Stand on the point of the planet closest to the sun. Chimborazo is Ecuador's highest summit — a demanding multi-day glaciated climb we build around real acclimatization.
View expedition →Climbing Cotopaxi
A guided multi-day ascent of the world's most iconic equatorial glacier. Non-technical, but a serious summit — and we build the days in so your body is ready for it.
View expedition →Climbing the Ilinizas
Twin summits south of Quito — one a rugged scramble, one a serious glacier climb. Iliniza Norte is Ecuador's classic acclimatization peak; Iliniza Sur is the real alpine test.
View expedition →Cuicocha Crater Lake & the Otavalo Lakes Circuit
Cuicocha is the turquoise crater lake near Otavalo — most people see it on a day trip, but it's the heart of a beautiful 2-day northern Andes lakes circuit. Here's how to hike it.
View expedition →The Avenue of the Volcanoes
One expedition, three summits. We climb Ecuador's corridor of giants — the Ilinizas, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo — the way they should be done: staged, acclimatized, and guided by locals.
View expedition →The Cajas National Park Trek
Most people see Cajas on a half-day tour. We backpack across it — two days lake to lake through a páramo of hundreds of glacial lagoons, on a stretch of the old Inca road.
View expedition →The Condor Trek
A four-day traverse across Ecuador's wildest high páramo — from the Antisana reserve to the foot of Cotopaxi — in the territory of the Andean condor. One of the great Andean treks, and few people walk it.
View expedition →The El Altar Trek
Ecuador's most spectacular hidden trek — a multi-day walk through cloud forest and páramo into the collapsed amphitheatre of El Altar, ending at a turquoise crater lake few travellers ever see.
View expedition →The El Ángel Reserve Trek
A trek into one of Ecuador's strangest, most beautiful landscapes — a high páramo of giant frailejones, near the Colombian border, that almost no foreign traveller ever sees.
View expedition →The Inca Trail to Ingapirca
Walk the original Camino del Inca to Ingapirca, Ecuador's greatest Inca site — a 3-day trek through highland páramo and Cañari villages. No permits, no crowds: the Andes' other Inca Trail.
View expedition →The Llanganates & Cerro Hermoso Trek
A four-day wilderness expedition into the most mysterious mountains in Ecuador — a labyrinth of mist, páramo and lakes where the Incas are said to have hidden Atahualpa's gold, and where almost no trekker ever goes.
View expedition →The Quilotoa Loop Trek
A three-day, village-to-village walk through the high Andes to one of South America's most beautiful sights: the turquoise crater lake of Quilotoa.
View expedition →The Sumaco Volcano Trek
A remote 3,830 m volcano rising straight out of the Amazon rainforest — and one of the wildest, hardest and least-walked treks in Ecuador. Four days through cloud forest and páramo to a summit few ever reach.
View expedition →Hiking Isabela Island
The largest and wildest of the Galápagos — and the best island to explore on foot. Trek across the giant Sierra Negra caldera, walk to the Wall of Tears, and meet the wildlife on every trail.
View expedition →Hiking San Cristóbal Island
The easternmost Galápagos island, where sea lions own the waterfront and trails lead to frigatebird cliffs and a freshwater crater lake. San Cristóbal is a quietly brilliant hiking island.
View expedition →Hiking Santa Cruz Island
The green heart of the Galápagos. From the white sands of Tortuga Bay to the misty highland forests and the island's highest point, Santa Cruz is made for walking — close to giant tortoises in the wild.
View expedition →Hiking the Galápagos
Most people see the Galápagos from a boat. We walk it — a multi-day, land-based itinerary across Isabela and Santa Cruz, on the volcano trails and coastal paths the day-tours skip.
