Ecuador

Join MGI for guided climbs of Cotopaxi (19,347') & Chimborazo (20,564')! Ecuador contains a diverse array of cultures and biology. With an area just slightly larger than that of Great Britain, travelers in Ecuador have opportunities to trek in lush green mangrove swamps and scrub forests, hike the dense “cloud forests,” climb high alpine peaks, explore the Galapagos Islands, and explore the Amazon basin.
