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.

My recent trekking adventure with Exodus was truly exceptional. The hospitality at Chalet Chalupa with Caro & Sebastian was outstanding, and the support from our guide was incredible. Caro and Sebastian, the chalet managers, created a warm, home-like atmosphere with consistently delicious food, including perfect buffet to pack our lunches. The hikes offered a brilliant mix of terrains and elevation, leading to breathtaking views, which were wonderful to share with fellow trekkers.

Jessica Harris Mont Blanc Highlights

Overall is not up to prior trip with Exodus. This trip of tour leader and hotel were just very minimum level. The food is very basic breakfast, lunch – sandwiches were awful and the dinner was very plain and simple no special surprise at all.

Teresa Lou-hing Walking the Picos de Europa

A very underrated trip with a real focus on wildlife, and there is lots to see. The walking is spot on for a moderate trip but there is time to stop and take photos and learn about the area and the wildlife. Trails are good and very quiet. It’s definitely a place to get away from the rest of the world but with a homely hotel with good food at the end of the day.
