Our Main Course
The most different travel off the beaten track to
get close to the Biggest Volcanoes on Earth, to meet silence and
peace and then flow into the Amazon Basin. This is the homeland
of alpacas, vicuñas, and wolves also home of the Purahá
Indian Nation. Our exclusive treks open to our clients a new experience
while we support local communities; our guides are specially trained
by the Secretary of Environment to offer outstanding lectures and
a deeper meaning to your visit. Program includes one night in Baños,
one night at Hostería Andaluza (Hacienda Chuquipogyo) and
One night at an Indian community in the base of Chimborazo with
all meals at the community.
After an early departure we get into the Cotopaxi
National Park, This is the habitat of the Andean Condor and the
Ecuadorian Hillstar hummingbirds. Various treks at different altitudes
will give the opportunity to see unusual flora and fauna of the
upper Andes and a final effort will take you up to the Snowline
and Glacial at 4800 m.

Following the course of the mighty Pastaza River
into the Amazon Basin we offer a hike down into the Devils
waterfall. This is a land of orchids and waterfalls as vegetation
blast. There is private reserve that gives us a feeling of the Jungle
and its different people.

The main course of the journey is the two-day stay
at the Indian Communities in the domains of the Chimborazo. Two
major treks in the flanks of the Volcano will cover all travel expectative.
A first 4-hour altitude trek will take you to see to Black Stone
where you will feel at the top of the world and then on to the Lonely
Tree, the closest tree to the sun on earth. At night you will
be host at a real Indian Community either at the community center
or at their straw and adobe huts. On the second day we have a half-day
trek to meet the Ice Peckers. People that dig pieces
of a 2 million years old Glacial and then sell it at the market
with fruit juice, Indians feel they are drinking a small portion
of the soul of the mountain.
