In the morning, you will enjoy a tasty breakfast, and then, drive to the Chimborazo reserve. This place is home to thousands of vicuñas, small relatives of llamas that are easily identifiable by their red coats as they wander about the skirts of the volcano. Chimborazo’s summit is considered the highest point on earth, if measured from the planet’s core. This is due to its proximity to the Equator, making it closer to space than the Everest!

5.00Our guide, Alirio, was incredible. The tour ended up just being me and my husband and we had such a great experience. It was a new way to travel for us, but wow was it adventurous and beautiful! It was nice not to have to plan anything and just to get up and get outside hiking every day.
Great hiking in the Andes with an experienced guide

5.00Fantastic tour of the best hikes in the area, my favorite being the long day hike up to Quilotoa crater. My husband and I are both in our 60s, and while we are fit, we had never hiked at high altitudes. We spent a few days in and around Quito to acclimate before the hike started. But I credit our experienced and professional guide Daniel with helping us succeed in getting up to the 5100-meter high lagoon at Chimborazo and the almost equally high base camp at Cotopaxi. Most of the hotels were also well chosen, with comfortable rooms and good food.

5.00I had an amazing 6 Day hiking experience in the Andes. Caesar was an expert in hiking the area and very knowledgeable as well in the flora, fauna and history of Ecuador, and a pleasure to hang out with. Rebecca Adventure travel made it easy to book and would definitely use them again.
Amazing.

5.00I had the opportunity to do this hike in the Andes with the Christian guide of Rebecca Adventures, the landscapes were magical my best part was the Quilotoa hike, the lagoon has a spectacular turquoise color, it was a beautiful experience where I could know the culture of the villages that are in the middle of the Andes. Fully recommended for those who like walking and disconnect from the routine.
Hiked to Cotopaxi and Chimborazo base camps, Quilotoa crater, Toachi Canyon,and Llanganates National Park

5.00Our guide and driver, Christian and Elias Valencia, exceeded all our expectations .They were punctual and conscientious with all our events ,and pleasantly answered all our questions about destinations,history, flora. fauna. and cuisine , Because my wife hikes at a different pace than myself, Elias escorted her carefully while Christian hiked with me . They were patient and very encouraging and always humorous ! We thoroughly enjoyed their company ! The food they provided was excellent and always presented with a flare and very fresh . Elias was an excellent driver, and anticipated and handled every dangerous road condition.. We greatly miss our " Road Amigos " !

5.00We were a group of 9 who already had a planned Galapagos Islands cruise through another company. We decided to add on a trip from Quito since that was our base for the cruise. We came upon Rebecca Adventure Travel and their 6-Day Andes Hiking tour. They were excellent to work with, responsive and detailed in their planning. We had our own guide and driver with our own bus. The trip met all of our expectations and then some. We saw the core of the Andes within Ecuador and came away impressed. It was well planned and our guide was excellent. If we return to Ecuador or Peru, we will definitely contact them again.
