Ecuador Volcanoes Expedition 2026🇪🇨🏔️

We are excited to announce that Adventure Peaks has guaranteed departures for our Ecuador Volcanoes expedition running in December 2026, January 2027 and July 2027, with limited spaces still available. Join us in the “Avenue of the Volcanoes” to attempt the summits of Cayambe, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo.

Why Choose the Ecuador Volcanoes?

Ecuador offers one of the most efficient and accessible ways to gain high-altitude mountaineering experience.
This expedition is designed for those who want to transition from high-altitude trekking to glaciated mountaineering, providing a rapid progression from 4,000m to over 6,000m in just two weeks.

Expedition Highlights:

✅ The 6,000m Milestone: Attempt Chimborazo (6,263m), the point on Earth closest to the sun. Reaching this summit is a massive achievement for any mountaineer.

✅ Technical Progression: Develop and refine your skills in crampon work, ice axe self-arrest, and roped glacier travel on the stunning slopes of Cayambe (5,790m) and the iconic, perfectly conical Cotopaxi (5,897m).

✅ Avenue of the Volcanoes: Experience the unique culture and landscapes of the Andes. Between climbs, we recover in traditional Ecuadorian haciendas, offering a level of comfort and hospitality rarely found on high-altitude expeditions.

✅ Strategic Acclimatization: Our itinerary is carefully crafted for success. We begin with trekking peaks like Pasochoa and Pichincha to ensure your body is fully prepared before we set foot on the big glaciers.

The Details:

🗓️ Dates: Multiple departures, see website.

🧗‍♀️Difficulty: Challenging/strenuous. Involves steep ice/snow ascents up to 35 to 45 degrees, glacier travel and sustained high altitude exertion over 6000m.

🥾Requirements: Climbers should have a good level of fitness and a basic understanding of winter walking, though full training on glacier skills is provided during the trip.

📍Location: Northern and Central Andes, Ecuador.

Aconcagua Expedition 2026/27 🏔️

We still have availability for our upcoming Aconcagua expeditions with two guaranteed trips departing in January and February 2027.

In the southern hemisphere’s summer of 2026/27, stand atop the “Stone Sentinel.” Join Adventure Peaks as we journey to the heart of the Andes to attempt Aconcagua (6,962m) the highest point in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres and a crown jewel of the Seven Summits.

Why Choose Aconcagua?

Aconcagua is the ultimate test of endurance and high-altitude resilience. While technically more accessible than the steep ridges of the Himalayas, its extreme altitude and “Viento Blanco” (white winds) offer a formidable challenge. It is the perfect next step for those who have conquered the likes of Kilimanjaro and are looking to breach the near 7,000m mark.

Expedition Highlights:

✅ The Seven Summits Prestige: Reach the highest point outside of Asia. This expedition is a critical milestone for any climber aspiring to join the elite group of Seven Summits finishers.

✅ The 360° Traverse Experience: We often favor the Vacas Valley/360° Route, which circumnavigates the mountain. You’ll ascend through the rugged, less-traveled Vacas Valley and descend via the Normal Route, offering a complete and scenic perspective of the massif.

✅ Expert Expedition Strategy: With over two decades of
guiding on Aconcagua, we prioritize a robust acclimatization schedule. Our program includes up to 5 contingency days for summit attempts, significantly increasing your chances of success in the face of Andean weather.

✅ Superior Base Camp Support: Experience world-class logistics in the high desert. From high-quality fresh food (no freeze-dried meals at BC!) to expert guide ratios, we ensure you can focus entirely on the climb.

The Details:

🗓️Dates: December 2026 - February 2027

🧗‍♀️Difficulty: Strenuous. While the route is non-technical, it is a grueling physical challenge.

🥾Prerequisites: Climbers should have experience with multi-day trekking, carrying heavy packs, and previous exposure to altitudes above 5,000m.

🏔️ Baruntse Expedition Autumn 2026 🏔️

In October 2026, join us as we journey into the heart of the Khumbu region to attempt the majestic Mount Baruntse (7,129m)—a peak that offers a true high-altitude mountaineering challenge far from the commercial crowds.

Why Choose Baruntse?
Baruntse offers a deeply rewarding and accessible objective for seasoned mountaineers. Tucked between Everest and Makalu, it is the perfect expedition for climbers who have mastered 6,000m peaks (like Mera Peak or Island Peak) and are ready to test their skills on a technical, classic 7,000m giant.

Expedition Highlights:

✅ The 7,000m Benchmark: Break into the big leagues on a peak that demands respect. This expedition provides the ultimate training ground and stepping stone for those dreaming of an 8,000m summit in the future.

✅ Aesthetic Ridge Climbing: Experience a classic Himalayan climb. The southeast ridge route involves exhilarating steep snow slopes, exhilarating fixed-line sections, and spectacular camps perched above the clouds with front-row views of Lhotse and Makalu.

✅ The Ultimate Wilderness Circle: Our approach takes us through the pristine Hinku Valley and over the dramatic Amphu Labtsa pass, offering a sense of raw adventure and solitude that is becoming rare in the Himalayas.

✅ Elite Logistics: Lean on Adventure Peaks’ decades of Himalayan experience. We prioritize a slow, strategic acclimatization profile, premium base camp comfort, and high-ratio Sherpa support to ensure your safety and success.

The Details:

📅 Dates: October 2026

🏔️ Difficulty: A strenuous, technical challenge. Climbers should have prior experience with crampons, fixed ropes, and high-altitude winter camping.

📍 Location: Khumbu/Makalu-Barun Region, Nepal.
