Our new Cotopaxi Group Service projects in Ecuador combine the best worlds of travel — some excellent adventure, along with the opportunity to give back to the people and places that provide such amazing memories. In other words, a simple way to say thanks.

In Ecuador’s Cotopaxi National Park and Condor Biosphere, you’ll ride, hike and bike for a little multisport adventure. Then roll up your sleeves to help park rangers with trail maintenance, and assist with an ongoing reforestation initiative to help regenerate forests that were adversely affected by wildfire and outdated practices of clear-cutting.

Adventure Life’s fearless-leader, Brian Morgan, gives us a taste of this stunning region while exploring on mountain bike.
