Andes

Meet the mythical Andes

The Andean mountain range, the backbone of the American continent, reaches 6297 meters of altitude at its highest point in Ecuador: the volcano Chimborazo. It extends from North to South, dividing the country in two. The two ranges, western and eastern Andes, about 400 kilometres long, are home to the inter-Andean valley, in which most of the major cities are located. These surprising and varied landscapes of volcanic origin, cradles of ancestral native populations, are for the most part easily accessible and shelter a large number of different ecosystems and private and state nature reserves.

During these itineraries in the Andes, we never lose sight of the main objective: knowing how to enjoy and understand this rich nature.
