If you’ve already tackled the walking tours of the USA or Europe, it may be time to crank things up a notch with a trek through South America. Hiking in South America is nothing short of amazing: walking through the mountains, forests and jungles of this continent will lead you to ruins, quiet villages and some of the best vistas you’ve ever tried to photograph. Lace up your shoes and load your pack with snacks – these are the best hiking trips in South America.

The Ecuadorian Andes and Amazon

After you complete this Culture Trip hiking tour in South America – venturing into both the Andes and the Amazon – you may want to display your boots on the mantle. This is a moderate tour with a marvelous itinerary: you’ll hike around Quilotoa lake, the Limpiopungo Lagoon and the Natural Oils Trail at Kuyana Amazon Lodge. Sound famishing? Good thing this eight-day trek includes an Ecuadorian cooking masterclass and a chocolate-tasting experience.
