Ecuador Trekking and Hiking Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 104 customer reviews
A big tick off the bucket list!
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“We researched options for visiting Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands on the same trip and found that the trip by this tour company offered a great combination, allowing plenty of time in both locations and with good itineries. We appreciated the small size of the party (15) and the knowledgable and helpful local guides. The Vieja Cuba Hotel in Quito was quirky and lovely, with friendly staff, but I wouldn't have chosen the hotels in Cusco or Agua Calientes - they were a little too 'budget'. The crew of the Cachalote were fantastic, anticipating every need and providing a faultless service. The tiny cabin space was something of a challenge, with only a couple of small shelves for storage and the bunks are definitely not for the claustrophobic, but that's the price you pay for the privilege of sailing in a small boat.”
Machu Picchu and Galapagos
5 - Excellent

“This was undoubtedly a trip of a lifetime. Every day was action packed and what we saw and experienced exceeded our expectations. We were fortunate to have a small group so our tours felt very personal and unique. Our guides were very gracious, well educated and enthusiastic . We came away from each tour feeling inspired and well informed.”

“My trip to Machu Picchu was with one group and the Galapagos Islands was with another because of an error by the tour company's booking agent. The locations were wonderful and difficult at the same time. Altitude was hard to adjust to. Although I had difficult times on the trip, the locations were wonderful.”

Ecuador Hiking Tours

Highlights of Ecuador Hiking Tours

  • The Quilotoa Loop, one of the best hikes in Ecuador, passes through rural villages, such as Sigchos and Isinlivi, and picturesque landscapes, such as the Quilotoa Lake and the Quilotoa crater.
  • Climb Cotopaxi, Ecuador’s most famous volcano, with a height of almost 5,900 meters. This volcano is active, so make sure to go there with an expert.
  • Get lost in the swaps of Cajas National Park, home to several hiking paths for different fitness levels and known for its volcanic rocks from the Cretaceous and Pleistocene period as well as the many lakes, including Laguna Toreadora.
  • Ecuador hiking tours are incomplete without embarking on the Inca Trail, a 40-kilometer hike following an ancient Inca road that used to connect Quito to Cusco. This trail passes through the town of Ingapirca and has marvelous natural sceneries.
  • Trek the Sierra Negra Volcano trail, where you will get the chance to see the second-largest volcano crater in the world, the Sierra Negra Volcano.

  • Plan your Ecuador trekking trip between June and September for ideal hiking conditions.
  • Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen while hiking in Ecuador.
