The best hikes
in our destinations
There are many ways to discover a region. We offer places that are only accessible on foot. It is far from human activity where the magic happens: meeting the gaze of an animal, coming across a light illuminating a landscape, hearing the rustling of nature, moments suspended in time.
We have listed our most beautiful hikes from Canada to Colombia, for all levels and heights.
Canada
Head to British Columbia for a high-altitude adventure: the Stawamus Chief hike in Squamish. This granite giant rises to 700 metres and offers three distinct peaks, accessible by steep trails… but the reward is at the top: a 360° view of Howe Sound, the city and the mountains of Garibaldi Provincial Park.
A must for lovers of wide open spaces and dizzying panoramas.
Level: intermediate
Mexico
Head for the heights of Oaxaca. The Circuito Cerro Benito Juárez, named after a Mexican political figure, is of historical importance and symbolises Mexico’s fight for freedom. It is also the highest point on the Yucatán Peninsula, with a snow-capped summit! On the quiet trails of Cerro Benito Juarez, you can witness the gradual change in nature as you climb. A 6.8 km loop to stretch your legs, cycle or run in the heart of the forest.
Level: easy
Guatemala
Climbing Acatenango is more than just a hike, it’s a sensory experience. A five-hour climb to a summit at an altitude of 3,976 metres, with Fuego in your sights. Along the way, you can hear the distant rumbling until the active volcano looms up in front of you, spewing fire and lava. The night at the camp facing the crater, mulled wine in hand, is a moment suspended in time. And if you want to be truly amazed, climb the last few metres to reach the summit at sunrise.
Level: difficult
Nicaragua
Want to see an active volcano under the stars? Welcome to Telica. The climb starts from the community of Quimera and gets more intense with every step. At the summit, the camp is set up at the edge of the crater! At nightfall, the magic begins: lava lights up the volcano’s crater, sulphur floats in the air, and the starry sky becomes your ceiling. Sunrise over the Maribios mountain range and breakfast at the summit… a climb like no other.
Level: intermediate
Costa Rica
Between primary forests, suspension bridges and secret valleys, this 4-day trek connects the cloud forests of San Gerardo de Dota to the Pacific coast. You’ll walk through lush nature, sleep in simple, cosy lodges and share the daily life of local families. Well-marked trails, meals wrapped in banana leaves, birdsong all along the way and spectacular mountain views. The highlight of the trip? Arriving at the ocean after a 50 km walk, your legs may be tired, but your heart will be full.
Level: difficult
Colombia
Four days in the heart of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy. This demanding trek follows the mountain range from the green valleys of the park to the glaciers at an altitude of 4,800 metres. Along the way, you can see the famous Espeletia (frailejones) endemic to the Páramo, and this is the only trail where you can see white deer in Colombia. Throughout the hike, there are breathtaking views of the peaks: Ritacuba Blanco, the rectangular Pulpito del Diablo and Pan de Azúcar.
