Ecuador Highlands

Nine days through Ecuador's Andes and Amazon, covering serious ground from high-altitude volcano country down to rainforest riverbanks.

You'll walk jungle trails with an Indigenous guide, hike in Cotopaxi National Park, and canoe to a riverside eco-lodge on the edge of the Amazon. A homestay with a local family adds a slower, more personal day, including a Pachamanca food ceremony.

Travelling with a small group and a local leader throughout, this is a trip that mixes physical challenge with genuine cultural contact.
