Any questions and worries were answered straight away - some even by video replies!! The actual Everest base camp trip itself was one of the best experiences of my life, however very tough! Everything from start to finish was run perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for more from Andy, Dave and the Sherpas they provided! A 5 star service all round!& sherpa who take care of you every step of the way. Thank you Evertrek! Lee Wardle - Triathlete and Personal Trainer “The guides were truly amazing, professional and were always on-hand to look after us.” Thanks guys for the experience of a lifetime. What can I say about EverTrek! Simply brilliant. From the moment we spoke with Andy and signed up it was all taken care of. The guides were truly amazing, professional and were always on-hand to look after us. Listen, this is a tough challenge but it’s well within the reach of most of you out there considering the possibility. I’ve kept myself pretty fit all my life (63 years young) but trying to keep up with my sons was, at times, pushing my limits. I cannot recommend EverTrek highly enough. Don’t think about this for too long - just do it. They’ll get there and you’ll never forget the experience. Thanks again Andy and EverTrek.

You will need it on this trip that’s for sure as your body requires decent amounts of food to give you the energy and fuel for your trek. We know how important it is to get a good meal in you and as well as a good night’s rest (with earplugs of course). That’s why we hire the best cooks and use and use the best huts that’s available on the Volcanoes. There’s nothing worse at altitude when you’re lacking energy due to a poor nights sleep and only having a substandard meal the night before. That’s why we don’t cut corners. Our on the ground staff want to give you the best service and experience on your journey to the summit all four peaks. As this is remote trip you will be staying at high altitude mountain huts, depending on space it will be a dormatory type accommodation. There will also be limits to showers due to the remote location. The toilets are also super basic so do take some hand santiser and some good wet wipes. 8 When is the best time to go? As Ecuador lies as you may have guessed it, near the Equator it follows very closely to the other nations that lie along the Andes mountain range. This is why the season to climb it is during November - February which is the driest time and also June-August. November to February & June-August These are the 2 best times of year to climb in Ecuador as they are driest months. That being said, the weather can be very challenging at any time of year but the weather conditions outside of these months can be very unstable. fa Q All of our treks come with our ‘Awesomeness Guarantee’ as well as your land transfers, accommodation and all of your meals but here are a few more detailed specifics: Transport All transport during the trip is included, whether private or public, including road transport and transfers as per the itinerary.. Accommodation The standard of accommodation we use can vary from our comfy hotels in Quito and Banos to basic high mountain huts.

    © Kamla-Raj 2011 J Hum Ecol, 35(1): 61-70 (2011) Otavaleños and Cotacacheños: Local Perceptions of Sacred Sites for Farmscape Conservation in Highland Ecuador Lee Ellen Carter and Fausto O. Sarmiento* Honors Program and Department of Geography, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, 30602, USA E-mail: <[email protected] >, *< [email protected]> KEYWORDS Sacred Sites. Indigenous Conservation. Intangibles. Otavalo. Ecuador. Andes ABSTRACT Indigenous communities around the world face pressures from ecotourism practices and conservation. Otavalo, Ecuador, is an example of how local spiritual values can add to the conservation efforts of ecotourism. The Imbakucha watershed includes mountain landscapes with natural and cultural values of numerous indigenous communities where most residents associate their livelihood with iconic, sacred, natural features. Because this region has been conserved with a vibrant artisan economy, it is a well-known cultural landscape in Latin America, and therefore, the increased pressure of globalization affects its preservation as it undergoes a shift from traditional towards contemporary ecotourism practices. We investigate the relationship between the indigenous people and their intangible spiritual environment by local understanding of identity and cultural values, using ethnographic and qualitative research to analyze the influence of spirituality on environmental actions and intersections that reify the native sacred translated into Christianity, to define synchronisms of modernity and the ancestral influence on the Andean culture in the Kichwa Otavalo living in the valley. This study concludes that there is an outlook among indigenous leaders, politicians, researchers, and scholars that a stronger influence of environmental ideals and ecofriendly lifestyles should and can be instilled into the livelihood that exists in indigenous communities to favor sacred sites conservation with development.

Tungurahua I was a 14-km-wide andesitic stratocone which experienced at least one sector collapse followed by the extrusion of a dacite lava series. Tungurahua II, mainly composed of acid andesite lava flows younger than 14,000 years BP, was partly destroyed by the last collapse event, 2955"90 years ago, which left a large amphitheater and produced a ;8-km3 debris deposit. The avalanche collided with the high ridge immediately to the west of the cone and was diverted to the northwest and southwest for ;15 km. A large lahar formed during this event, which was followed in turn by dacite extrusion. Southwestward, the damming of the Chambo valley by the avalanche deposit resulted in a ;10-km-long lake, which was subsequently breached, generating another catastrophic debris flow.

La mayor parte del ganado, que no encontró nada que pastar en los campos, murió de hambre y necesidad, y este polvo se extendió más de 60 leguas a la redonda. El año pasado, desde el mes de noviembre hasta ahora, hubo los daños más terribles; el fuego interno, que fundió la nieve de la cual estaba cubierta la cima de la montaña, formó un torrente tan terrible que se llevó consigo casas, terrenos, hombres, mujeres, manufacturas de textiles de las comarcas, echó abajo la mayoría de los puentes que desde las calles del poblado cruzan las diferentes corrientes de agua que descienden de esta montaña y nos causaron además, por infección del aire, una enfermedad también llamada Cotopaxi, que no era otra cosa que la parodititis conglomerada”.

  • ECUADOR's FORGOTTEN VOLCANO the Eruption
    Desastes en la Región ECUADOR’S FORGOTTEN VOLCANO The Eruption of Reventador Ecuador, one of the countries with the largest number of active volcanoes in the world, awoke on Sunday 3 November to a volcanic emergency. Since not enough funds are available to monitor all volcanoes, the Geophysical Institute of the National Polytechnic School— the body in charge of such surveillance— had not been paying too much attention to Reventador volcano, located 95 Km East of Quito, in the province of Napo, which had lain dormant for 26 years. Such was not the case that morning, though, as violent explosions flung gases, pyroclastic flows and large amounts of ash that reached an altitude of 16 Km. Residents of nearby communities in Napo and Sucumbíos provinces, frightened by the magnitude of the eruption, fled the area. “On Sunday we left in a hurry as soon as we saw that the mountain was starting to spit fire,” said a cattleman from the Chaco, the area nearest the volcano. The lava flows followed the course of Maker River, on the volcano’s slopes, and caused several landslides that cut off the main highway between Quito and Lago Agrio, the capital of Sucumbíos. Easterly winds blowing in the direction of Quito covered everything in their path—fields, rivers, houses, cattle, reservoirs—with dense ash. The population of Oyacachi, one of the most severely affected towns, reported that by 11 in the morning darkness was almost total. The ash reached Quito by 1:30 in the afternoon, wrapping the city in a grey cloud that made it almost impossible to breathe.

Arrive in Quito and meet your guide and other members of the expedition at Hotel Reina Isabel. The first day is designated for travel to Ecuador and becoming situated in country. For those who arrive early, we will provide you with a variety of sight seeing options including a tour of the historic colonial sector of Quito and El Panecillo overlooking the city. We will spend the night at Hotel Reina Isabel. Day 2: Acclimatize ­ Otavalo Market After meeting the rest of your group for breakfast, we will drive north, crossing the line of the Equator on our way to the Otavalo market. We begin our acclimatization by exploring the market which is filled with indigenous crafts and food. For lunch, we will take a leisurely walk to Lago de San Pablo and dine on the lake shore across from the dormant Imbabura Volcano (15,255ft). We will return to Hotel Reina Isabel for the evening. Day 3: Acclimatize ­ Cerro Pasochoa (13,776 ft / 4199 m) Today we will go on our first acclimatization hike on Cerro Pasochoa. The Pasochoa Wildlife Refuge has been protected since 1982, and exists as it did in pre­Colombian times. In the forest below Cerro Pasochoa we will hike among stands of pumamaqui, polyapis, podocarpus, and sandlewood trees as we watch for some of the more than one hundred species of native birds.

Glaciers on active volcanoes are subject to changes in both climate fluctuations and vol- canic activity. Whereas many studies analysed changes on individual volcanoes, this study presents for the first time a comparison of glacier changes on active volcanoes on a continental scale. Glacier areas were mapped for 59 volcanoes across Latin America around 1986, 1999 and 2015 using a semi- automated band ratio method combined with manual editing using satellite images from Landsat 4/5/ 7/8 and Sentinel-2. Area changes were compared with the Smithsonian volcano database to analyse pos- sible glacier–volcano interactions. Over the full period, the mapped area changed from 1399.3 ± 80 km2 − to 1016.1 ± 34 km2 (−383.2 km2)or−27.4% (−0.92% a 1) in relative terms.
