Ecuador Volcano Adventure: Get Ready to Feel the Heat (and Not in a "Spicy Salsa" Way)

Are you ready for a thrill where you get to be a daredevil, and also feel like you are the main character in a deep nature documentary? Well, look no further. You have arrived at the Ecuador Volcano Adventure where you might get so close to an active volcano that you may feel as though you are this close to something that is breathing fire (do not panic; it is all safe... most of the times). This is not a simple banana trek in the bush. This is an absolute chaos where you battle and venture through phreatic eruptions, and it will be as if you are auditioning for a role in an Indiana Jones movie, sans the massive rock trying to rip your head off.

Ecuador's Volcanoes: Big, Bad, and Smokin' Hot

Ecuador is home to some of the most dramatic volcanoes on Earth—those that puff out steam and are perfectly capable of making you feel like you’ve stumbled into an action movie. Hiking one of these beauties is like being a superhero, except instead of saving the world, you're just hoping your legs don’t give out halfway up. As you reach the summit, the view opens up like a postcard, minus the airbrushed clouds. It's the kind of scenery that makes you feel like you’re on top of the world... or at least on top of a really big, hot pile of rocks.

Lava, Baby! But Not Too Close, Please

Wouldn’t it be cool to go right up to the edge of the crater of a volcano and look down and simply feel so powerful? At this moment, your breath will pick up as you watch the flames engulfing the pits below (while also making sure to stay behind the safety line, of course). This is a nice way of saying, "oh wow. I have to upload this picture to my Instagram account.” Your excursion is not just enjoyable as your guide speaks about the volcano but also makes you wish there were more treats available on the journey. But the fun part is you can tell everyone how you looked into the glorifying volcano and everyone will believe you and smartly no one has to know that you are actually daydreaming of meals.

The Hike: Steep, Rocky, and Definitely Worth the Pain

This is not your average stroll through the park. Nope. This hike is more like "I swear I saw the top... is that a mirage?" with a side of "I should’ve started working out before this trip." But fear not! The moment you reach the summit and see the volcano’s steaming beauty, you’ll forget about your aching calves and that weird pain in your side. You’ll feel like the king (or queen) of the world—or at least like someone who can now officially say they've hiked an active volcano. (Kinda makes that beach walk look lame, huh?)

Mud, Views, and Reassessing Your Life Choices

A lot of mud, a lot of shoving, but most importantly, a lot of dust - dust is the enemy in this journey. But what the heck, it’s all about enjoying the whole experience, is it not? While The conical volcano looms ahead, focus moves from the bovine shoes furnished with heaps of slush to the picturesque landscape as one continues ahead on the bumpy pathway.

Moreover, the sight is so stunning that one will be hard-pressed to realize that their legs are now caked in mud resembling that found on a 2-year old.

Instagram Moment: "Yeah, I’m Basically an Explorer Now"

So, you’ve scaled a volcano, looked death (well, sort of) in the face, and probably screamed just a little bit on the way up. Time to snap that epic photo! The crater in the background will be a huge hit on social media—unless you look absolutely terrified in the photo (which you probably will, but no judgment here). Bonus points if you manage to get a dramatic shot where the wind is blowing your hair, even though you’ve barely moved in the last hour. #LivingOnTheEdge
