Trek From the Andes to the Hotspring

Trek From the Andes to the Hotspring

per person

This is a once in a lifetime adventure for any nature lover! This expedition takes you through the Cayambe Coca National Park and crosses spectacular places including forests, steppes, a 3-mile-long obsidian flux, natural hot springs and volcanoes. Here, we can see the great continental divide aside from great views of mountains, lakes and waterfalls in an exciting 16 mile route that ends with a well-deserved thermal bath at a hot spring. With luck, you can find evidence of bears, deer, puma, condors, eagles and much more.
