Activity in the region of Baños
The Tungurahua Volcano
As the Tungurahua volcano has seen several periods of renewed activity in recent years, the performance of this activity is subject to change. The guide will pick you up at the hotel in Baños in the morning and take you to the highest village that lies against the Tungurahua volcano. From there you can walk to the refuge in about two hours. We have lunch there and then return to the village. You then descend by mountain bike to Baños where we arrive at nightfall.
To bring: sun and rain protection, water and sports clothing.

In South America, Ecuador is one of the smaller countries, but the country is hugely diverse in terms of geography, climate and population. You can visit the Andes, the Amazon rainforest as well as the tropical coast without taking extremely long domestic flights or transfers. And then you have the Galapagos Islands, a once in a lifetime experience. The diversity of flora and fauna per square mile is enormous. Ecuador is South America in a nutshell. Moreover, the country is relatively safe and little visited. The national currency is the USD and you have a wide choice of direct flights to Quito and Guayaquil from Europe and the United States.
