overview

Are you ready for a transformative journey to the mesmerising landscapes of Ecuador, a land where nature’s wonders and towering volcanoes await? Welcome to this Avenue of the Volcanoes expedition—an artfully crafted adventure that promises to leave you spellbound, empowered, and deeply fulfilled.

Picture yourself immersed in the awe-inspiring volcanic landscapes of Ecuador. Majestic volcanoes call out to you, inviting you on an exhilarating four-peak adventure that seamlessly blends achievement, comfort, and pure enjoyment. With strategic acclimatisation and skill-building, you’ll be well-prepared for each ascent, all while savouring rejuvenating rest days amidst the splendour of Mother Nature.

Your journey commences with a hike to the pristine Quilotoa lagoon, nestled at 3,914 meters above sea level. This sets the stage for your first conquest, the breathtaking Corazon Volcano (4,788 meters). Continue your ascent to conquer the formidable Illinizas Norte (5,126 meters), and then face the choice of the awe-inspiring Cayambe (5,790 meters) or the legendary Cotopaxi (5,897 meters). Finally, reach for the stars as you ascend Chimborazo (6,268 meters), Ecuador’s highest peak—a celestial experience that brings you closer to the heavens.

Immerse yourself in Ecuador’s captivating environment, where rare volcanic rock formations coexist harmoniously with lush vegetation. Explore pre-conquest ruins and lose yourself in the Illinizas Ecological Reserve, where every step unveils the secrets of this enchanting landscape.

The adventure beckons. As you scale these monumental peaks, you’ll encounter the thrill of volcanic craters, the mystical Paramo, and awe-inspiring vistas along the Avenue of Volcanoes. Be ready for the unpredictability of the weather; pack your warmest clothing as you embark on these epic 3-5-hour hikes and 6-hour climbs that will elevate you to the sky’s embrace.

To conquer these volcanic titans, it’s essential to be in good physical shape, mentally resilient, and ideally have some climbing experience. Prepare for rapid climate shifts and navigate challenging terrains, mastering a blend of climbing techniques for your triumphant summit.

Prepare to embark on an adventure that will redefine your boundaries and reward you with unparalleled views of Ecuador’s natural wonders. Get ready to transform, to reach new heights, and to be touched by the magic of this land.
