Reviews
We had a super easy going group, and Jorge our guide was a fantastic addition to the team. At no point did it feel like he was just a guide being paid to take us around, but more like a friend showing us his favourite spots.
His passion for his job and his country is infectious, and we couldn't help but be swept up in his excitement for every trek/view - even though he's seen and done them all thousands of times!
The trekking was the right level of tough whilst still being enjoyable, and the stunning places we stayed at were perfect to recover - with evenings being just as memorable as the days!
I also have to shout out our driver Andres who was a joy to be around, and has been awarded the title of happiest man in all of Ecaudor! The pair of them always went the extra mile to ensure everyone was happy & having a good time, making an already incredible trip so much more enjoyable, thanks guys!
Physically and mentally demanding, but well worth it for the dramatic scenery.
Brilliant guides, and a really nice group of fellow hikers.
