Ecuador Volcanoes Expedition Dispatches

Climb Ecuador's Volcanoes: November 3 – 18, 2012

This fall, we’ll journey on a new adventure to Ecuador. Our endeavor begins in the cultural city of Quito at 9,350 feet. We’ll head north to Otavalo and explore the magnificent volcanoes along the Ecuadorian Andes, which include Imbabura, acclimatizing on Cotacachi, and reaching the summit of Cayambe at 18, 996 feet. The team will enjoy some R&R in various first class hotels, historical haciendas, and warm, mountain lodges.

We welcome you to participate on our trip by following the daily dispatches. From there, you’ll be able to share in the memories made and enjoy the remarkable views from the heights of the Andes.
