ANDES TREKS & TREKKING THROUGH THE ANDES NATIONAL PARKS

Almost 20% of Ecuador is protected as a national park or other protected area. Particularly the Andes parks are suitable for trekking and day visits.

For getting to know the paramo, Cajas National Park is a very good choice, although other great parks include, El Angel, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Sangay, etc.

Ecuador Andes Treks & Trekking through the paramos: Enjoying the gorgeous mountain lakes, the gorgeous flowers, the fresh air above 3500 m, a life changing experience.

As tiny as they are, the Andes tulips, as the locals call them - in reality they are gentians - are our favorite Andes flower.

GORGEOUS WATERFALLS OF ECUADOR

Ecuador is a nation of great quantities of water, with splendid lakes, like Lake San Pablo, and fascinating waterfalls, such as San Rafael and Peguche Waterfalls.

Many of the Snow-capped volcanoes are very active, such as the Cotopaxi, the world's highest active volcano, the 5,230 m high Sangay, the Antisana and the Cayambe, located right on the equator. Other extremely active non-snowcapped volcanoes are the Chacana, Guagua, Pichincha, Reventador, Sumaco, and Tungurahua, most of which are located in national parks.
