No. 1 Trekking & Climbing Agency in Ecuador's Andes Mountains

The Inca Trail once connected the Incan empire’s northern capital Quito with its southern capital Cuzco in Peru to move trade, diplomatic messengers, as well as large marching armies during the Incan civil war.

After centuries of war the Inca Trail was largely destroyed or buried, but this section through Sangay National Park is one of the last well preserved remnants of great historic value and follows the footsteps of the revolutionary leader Commander Sucre's army as they marched over the Andes to Cuenca during the war of independence against Spain.

Mount Chimborazo is the tallest mountain in Ecuador and the Chimborazo climb is non-technical, meaning you get a very high altitude without encountering sheer vertical walls that require technical skills like ice climbing.

The 6,268.2 m (20,565 ft) equatorial summit of Mount Chimborazo is also the closest point to the sun on earth. When measured from the centre of the earth instead of sea level it is the highest mountain on the planet.

There are two treks you can do to El Altar – an overnight trek to the “yellow lagoon” crater lake in the middle of the extinct volcano, or the other spectacular 3 day hike that climbs the green valleys carved by glaciers into the mountainous terrain full of waterfalls and multi-coloured glacial lagoons inside Sangay National Park.

The highest point in the trek reaches the 4,800 meter snowline below El Altars glacial peaks where we will see silver, orange, and blue lagoons as well as spectacular views of Chimborazo and Sangay in clear weather.
