ECUADOR LANDMARKS: EXPEDITIONS TO THE HIGHLANDS OF THE ANDES

Ecuador Landmarks

Let us help you to organize splendid Ecuador landmarks expeditions through the Andes Mountains through the world famous Avenue of the Volcanoes.

Almost 20% of Ecuador is protected as national park or other protected areas. In fact, Ecuador's Andes highlands landmarks are great for hiking expeditions. Your best option to hike them are during our National Parks Tours.

For getting to know the paramo, Cajas National Park is a very good choice, although other great parks include, El Angel Ecological Reserve, Cotopaxi National Park, Chimborazo wildlife Reserve, Sangay National Park, Cotacachi-Cayapas Ecological Reserve, Cayambe Coca Reserve, etc.

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