Portals, Legends, and Andean Yetis: Walking Ecuador's New Ancient Trails

Far from Machu Picchu’s crowds, a network of ancient Cañari trails winds through Ecuador’s high-altitude páramo, a misty landscape of spiky plants and buried myths. Long before the Inca, the Cañari built these routes to link Cuenca to the coast. Centuries later, locals are reviving them with the help of 2 Degrees Expeditions. Hike here and you’ll find yourself walking a 5,000-year-old story still unfolding in the clouds.
