Our Trekking
Excursions have been designed as day
hikes that will allow you to acclimatise properly
before attempting some of the major volcanoes.
As with the Climbing Excursions the idea is
to depart from Quito, but we can arrange to
pick you up from another town or city that might
be closer to the mountain you choose to climb.
In each trip we will suggest some cultural
tours or other activities as complimentary
extensions depending on the area where the
mountain is. After some of these hikes we
can book you to stay the night at some nice
"haciendas", which are countryside
farmhouses converted now into cosy lodges.
Remember that we can develop a tailor made
itinerary that will give you the opportunity
of making the most out of your time, budget
and specific interests.
