Ecuador Adventure Tours

Ecuador Expedition-Surtrek Tour Operator

These adventure tours are only for good mountain hikers or people who have experience with mountain climbing as they lead on Andean trails on great heights. On long distances of these trekkings there are immense differences in height to overcome.

The overnight stays take place in tents. In these areas of the Andes there are no pack horses so that you have to carry your luggage yourself during the trekking. The participants of these trekking tours must be physically and mentally very fit to adjust fast to the changing circumstances. However, for these efforts you are rewarded with a unique animal- and plant world like pumas, tapirs or spectacle bears.
