thing to me."

ECUADOR VOLCANOES
CHIMBORAZO (20,701 ft./6,310 m)
COTOPAXI (19,347 ft./5,897 m)
CAYAMBE (18,993 ft./5,789 m)
Ecuador
Lead Guide Jose Luis has been guiding this, “nothing short of phenomenal“ series of climbs for over 30 years. The chance to summit 3 peaks in 16 day is a great opportunity to climb over 20,000 feet. This is an excellent climb for aspiring climbers and those who have been successful on our 3 day Rainier or Baker programs. "The Ecuador trip and accommodations were stunning in every respect and would do it all over again without hesitation, truly an under-appreciated gem in South American climbing. Thanks for everything!"
CERRO SAN LORENZO (12,159 ft./3,706 m)
Patagonia
Remote stunning and not often climbed, Cerro is the perfect opportunity to explore a niche of Patagonia while taking on a stunning ascent. Certainly, for those who are drawn to remote adventure with Paul Koubek, expert to this area as your lead. I very much enjoyed the expedition. The overall quality was excellent, particularly given that this was AAI’s first expedition to Cerro San Lorenzo. Everything from lodging to group gear to food to the itinerary were well planned and executed and the guides were adept at making changes as circumstances dictated. The experience was both fun and challenging."
TREKKING THE SACRED VALLEY OF MACCHU PICCHU
Peru
Join Ben Jones as we trek 12 days and visit spectacular ruins with comfy lodging at night. This is a journey to lesser traveled parts of the Inca trail and just rewards as we visit much lesser-known ruins before visiting Macchu Picchu. The perfect trip for those who enjoy hiking in beautiful mountains but equally enjoy the cultural side, A great look at all that Peru has to offer. "What a fantastic trip! I loved the combination of hiking Inca trails over high mountain passes with a daily dose of culture in the form of exploring archaeological sites. Plus, it was always a treat to end the day at a beautiful luxury lodge with delicious food and dip in a hot tub! Getting a chance to visit so many archaeological sites and learn quite a bit about pre-Columbian Peru really helped
me appreciate our visit to Machu Picchu. Not to be missed!"
MEXICO VOLCANOES
EL PICO DE ORIZABA (18,491 ft./5,636 m)
IZTACCHIHUATL (17,159 ft./5,230 m)
Mexico
Not exactly South America but South of the US, Alpine Ascents offers multiple departures to Mexico Volcanoes in a convenient 10 day package. Whether looking to reach a new altitude record or getting ready for the Denali season, a great way to climb over 18,000 feet close to home. "I had a great time on the expedition. The mountains were beautiful and challenging and the cultural tour was an unexpected extra! The trip plan made sense, giving us enough time to acclimatize, have a great opportunity to successfully summit the mountains and recover in between."
