For people like us, to gaze at a mountain is to wish to climb it. And Mt. Kilimanjaro is among the great views -- and opportunities -- in the world of mountaineering. Although it is very high, a great challenge and capped with glaciers, it is also approachable to the novice. And in the hands of Embark and our experienced guides, you will have the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience: safe, thrilling, and once in a lifetime.    

Ecuador is a land of astonishing variety, from the Galapagos Islands to rainforest to high mountain peaks. On this new adventure, we explore the highest of the high country, summit five volcanic peaks above 13,000 feet -- one of them above 16,000 feet. In between, we sleep in wonderful lodges and exploring valleys and villages with fascinating, pre-Spanish cultures. We also visit Cotopaxi National Park and hike to over 17,000 feet on the slopes of this massive volcano. Trekking and climbing in Ecuador mixes adventure with modern comfort, meaning this special Embark adventure is one you won’t want to miss.
