You’ll walk back in time, into the heart of ancient myths and legends, as you join Mountain Madness adventures in Latin America. Before the Spanish conquest, the Inca Empire extended from northern Chile to Ecuador, its influence of power linked by trails leading over snow covered passes, through lush sub-tropical forests, and up and down deep river valleys. Explore this incredible landscape and unveil the mysteries of the Incas and other ancient cultures along the way!

Our programs offer something for everyone. Trekkers will find the classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and the multi-sport activities in Patagonia’s world famous National Parks, well suited for just about everybody. Others may find the more difficult treks in Peru, such as the Ausangate Trek or Climb, to have appeal to both seasoned trekkers and climbers alike. And in Ecuador, the diverse Cotopaxi Trek or Climb defines the options available to all in this program, with the up close and personal views of the gleaming equatorial ice on Cotopaxi to capture the imagination of trekkers, to the option to climb the peak available for aspiring climbers. 

Like all Mountain Madness trips, a high standard of service is of paramount importance to provide you with the best possible experience. Creature comforts during the trek, like those found in Ecuador’s historic Hacienda La Cienega or the Hacienda Pinsaqui, provide fine dining, music, and a soft bed after a hard day of walking. And while on the trek, you’ll enjoy comfortable camps with the best possible food available.  Who says you have to “rough it” while trekking…
