Private and small-group programmes across the Andes and the Pacific coast.
APU Experiences is the umbrella for our seven guided lines — climbing, trekking, cycling, kitesurfing, retreats, Galapagos and open-water mountain swims. One team, one set of standards, one trip.
01APU Climbs
7–20 DAYS · 4,800–6,263 M
Ecuador has the most accessible high mountains in the world. With proper shape, acclimatization and some good luck, mountains like Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Cayambe, Antisana, Illiniza Norte, and many others. can be climbed. If you lack the experience this is the place to start!
02APU Treks
3–8 days · moderate to hard
Multi-day traverses through cloud forest, high páramo and crater lakes, with comfortable haciendas between days.
03APU Ride
1–7 days · support vehicle
Road and gravel routes on the Avenue of the Volcanoes, origin of some of the best Pro Tour riders
04APU Kite
June–December · all levels
Steady cross-shore wind and warm water in Santa Marianita — lessons or downwinders for riders who already fly.
05APU Retreats
4–7 days · max 10 guests
Small mountain retreats: morning practice, breathwork at altitude, silent hikes and evening meditation.
06APU Galapagos
4–14 days · cruises & island hopping
We design custom Galapagos trips combining any of our activities in the archipelago — wildlife and nature, MTB, sea kayaking, trail running, diving and snorkelling — and we sell yacht cruises and island-hopping itineraries across the Enchanted Isles.
07APU Swims
2–6 days · all swim levels
Swim in high-altitude crater lakes and páramo lagoons across the Ecuadorian Andes — crystal-clear water, volcanic backdrops and routes for every level.
Adaptive adventure · Joint venture
Nature is not a staircase. Together with Zuko Carrasco we design outdoor programs for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility — trails, páramo, beach and volcanoes, with adapted equipment, trained crew and real safety protocols.
