The Andean country of Ecuador is located on the Pacific Northwest coast of South America and borders Colombia and Peru. With an area of ​​around 256,000 km², Ecuador is about the size of the United Kingdom, but has only around 15 million inhabitants.

Ecuador is divided into three geographical zones:

  • The west coast dominated by the Río Guayas. In its estuary lies the port city of Guayaquil – with around 3 million inhabitants, it is also the largest city in the country.
  • The central Andes region with the country’s highest mountain, the 6,310 m high Chimborazo, and the capital Quito, which is located at 2,900 m in a high valley and is almost on the equator. The mountain ranges are characterized by strong volcanism.
  • Beyond the Andes lie the rainforests of the Amazon lowlands.

The Galápagos Islands, 1,000 km off the coast in the Pacific, also belong to the national territory of Ecuador.

From high Andean towns we hike to extinct volcanoes and emerald green lagoons. Can we spot the black condor? The waterfall route then takes you into the Amazon region with rampant rainforest, parrots and the Rio Napo.

The Mitad del Mundo Equator Monument was built to commemorate the Franco-Spanish geodesic expedition in the 18th century. Here we can stand with one foot in the northern hemisphere and the other foot in the southern hemisphere!
In the afternoon we head south from the equator and we get to know Quito’s old town better, the largest and best preserved old town in Latin America and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, on a guided tour. Our guide shows us the highlights of colonial Quito with its churches, historical buildings and monuments. We then drive straight on to Lasso and spend the night in the historic Hacienda La Cienega, where Alexander von Humboldt stayed in 1802 (altitude approx. 3,000 m).

Baños – Baños de Agua Santa to be precise – is a small town known for its thermal baths and melcocha, a candy made from a type of sugar mass that is shaped in theatrical gestures and thrown several times over a hook on the door frame.
The atmosphere is relaxed, the climate is pleasant and the tropical rainforest of eastern Ecuador is only a few kilometers away! An ideal base for hiking and to see the active volcano Tungurahua in action (optional).

Optional: Climbing the Cotopaxi – previous mountaineering experience absolutely necessary!
An absolute highlight awaits the mountaineers. In the morning you drive to the parking lot, at 4,600 m altitude and meet the mountain guides who will take you up the Cotopaxi tomorrow. The subsequent ascent to the José Ribas hut is short but difficult. A few exercises are carried out on the glacier together with the mountain guides and tomorrow’s route is discussed. Then it’s time to go to bed early, because the ascent to the summit of Cotopaxi begins shortly after midnight. A mountain guide may lead 2 people.
Around midnight you will start the ascent to the summit of the glaciated Cotopaxi volcano (5,897 m) together with your mountain guide. In normal conditions, this is technically not very difficult, but you have to be absolutely sure about using crampons, rope and ice ax and you have to have the right equipment (you can find a list of equipment under Information/Notes on the trip or in a personal conversation)! First it goes over a partly snow-covered scree slope to the glacier entrance at approx. 5,250 m. Over a last steeper slope you get to the edge of the crater. On a clear day, the volcanic peaks of Antizana, Illiniza, El Altar and the 6,310 m high Chimborazo can be seen. 6 – 8 hours for the ascent and 2 – 3 hours for the descent.

We drive along the scenic waterfall route through the Pastaza Gorge towards Puyo. In Rio Verde we hike to the roaring waterfall “Pailón del Diablo”, which thunders down over several cascades. On a steep stone staircase and often only shoulder-high corridors we approach the last few meters to the waterfall. There is also the option of crossing the gorge with a cable car.
In Puyo, we visit the Yanacocha Animal Sanctuary, which takes care of rescued animals, before continuing to the Jungle Lodge outside of Tena. During a 20-minute motorized canoe ride we get a first glimpse of the Ecuadorian gateway to the Amazon. In the evening there is the possibility to go on a night hike!

Early in the morning we leave for the Parrot Rocks to watch the noisy spectacle and hustle and bustle of the parrots and parakeets. The rock contains important minerals to digest the ingested fruits and seeds. With binoculars, the natural spectacle can be viewed even more closely!
After breakfast we go on a hike through parts of the primary rainforest. We learn a lot about endemic plants and their use as a source of food and their medicinal effectiveness. Of course we also keep an eye out for monkeys, birds and other inhabitants of the rainforest.
We return to the lodge for lunch, have a short siesta and then visit an indigenous Kichwa community. A family gives us insights into the culture and traditions of the tribe that lives in harmony with nature. The locals show us how to prepare the typical drink of this region, chicha, which is made from fermented yucca.

After breakfast, we return to the Arajuno jetty by canoe.

Located at 3,300 m in the middle of the evergreen Andean Páramo landscape, Papallacta is known for its thermal springs, where we can relax for a few hours.
We spend the last evening together in the hotel near the airport (2,600 m).

We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.

Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.

In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .

About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066
