Our Mountain Guides

Welcome to Ecuadorian Mountain Guides

My name is Fernando Iza . Since 2004 I have been a Mountain Guide based in Latacunga, Cotopaxi's capital. I offer day trips from Latacunga or Quito, as well as longer excursions to the jungle and the coast, and mountain summit treks to Cotopaxi and Chimborazo (Ecuador's highest peak).

Take a look at the example tours here, and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have. Thanks for visiting.

Our team is excited to share with you our invaluable knowledge of the local environment and a history of local traditions and customs. We will ensure you experience the best of Ecuador; climbing majestic mountains and volcanoes, enjoying panoramic vistas overlooking crater lakes and finally relaxing with a satisfying hot meal after an adventure filled day.
