Our trekking adventures in Ecuador take you deep into the heart of the Andes — from the Altar Lagoons to remote páramo trails and volcanic valleys. With routes designed for different fitness levels and durations, our treks offer a unique blend of nature, culture, and wilderness. During one of our guided hikes in Ecuador's National Parks, a spectacled bear was spotted watching from above — a rare and unforgettable wildlife encounter that reflects the rich biodiversity and magic of the Ecuadorian highlands.
🧊 Glacier Classes
Learn the essential skills of glacier travel and ice climbing with our glacier training courses in Ecuador. Held on the slopes of Cotopaxi or Cayambe, these hands-on classes are perfect for beginners and climbers preparing for more advanced expeditions in the Andes or beyond. In cold and challenging conditions, our instructors demonstrate techniques such as self-arrest, ensuring every participant gains real experience and confidence in the mountains.
