The Andes mountain range traverses Ecuador from north to south. These mountains are connected by knots that give them the appearance of a ladder. The region is characterized by the presence of 35 volcanoes, 8 of which are snowcapped and considered potentially active. Nature lovers consider viewing the Andean scenery that contains high plateaus, valleys, mountains and snow peaks an incomparable experience.

 

The Andes comprise a land of both cultural and physical extremes and extraordinary diversity, thus bestowing upon it a great strength as well as a charming vulnerability.

 

The Andes Mountain Range, correctly called the "Cordon of Fire" or the "Avenue of the Volcanoes," will become the stage for long walks, for climbing the highest and steepest peaks, for trekking eternally snowcapped peaks and for providing you with sensations experienced previously only by mountaineers and adventurers.
