Walking Holidays in Ecuador

For a small country Ecuador has a truly amazing variety of attractions for the adventurous traveller, and a trekking holiday to Ecuador can take many forms.

On the mainland, the country is bisected by the spine of the Andes, including some of the highest peaks in South America and perfect volcanic cones – indeed the main north-south road in Ecuador is called the Avenue of the Volcanoes. If you want a real challenge have a look at the ascent of Cayambe, the ultimate trekking holiday in Ecuador.

Another side of Ecuador is the Galapagos Islands, the remarkable archipelago far into the Pacific Ocean. Exploring the islands and their unique wildlife is usually done by boat. However, the largest island, Isabela, is quite mountainous, an excellent place to combine wildlife viewing with some relatively easy walking.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was a great blend of walking through the beautiful Tuscan countryside, tasting organic wines, sampling delicious local foods, and getting a bit of Renaissance and medieval history with visits to Sienna, Florence, and San Girmignano.

This was a lovely weeks hiking and we were lucky to have great weather for all of our hiking days (October). It was great to start in Samos to ‘tune in’ a bit to the more busy sections of the path and having a day at the end in Santiago is essential. The distances are sometimes long, but navigation is so easy as it is so well signed, which enabled people to go at their own pace with regular meeting points for a cafe con leche. Before booking, we debated guided v unguided as it is so easy to follow but opted to go with the minimal faff option, which was good. The route was interesting and prettier than I expected, but possibly not for those who prefer more remote hiking environments and solitude.
