About Imagine Ecuador
Imagine Ecuador is a Baños-based adventure outfitter and travel agency founded in 2012, with its office on Luis A. Martínez and 16 de Diciembre. Originally known for pioneering mountain biking in the area, it has expanded into a full-service operator handling everything from single-day adrenaline activities to extended Amazon and Galápagos itineraries across the country.
Their adventure menu is one of the broadest in town: whitewater rafting on several rivers, canyoning at Casahurco, Chamana and Río Blanco, rock climbing, zip-lining, paragliding and kayaking with courses for those learning to paddle. On land they run guided mountain biking along the waterfall route, bridge jumping, horseback riding and trekking, and they rent ATVs, jeeps, motorcycles and bikes for travellers who want to explore independently. High-altitude mountaineering trips tackle Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Cayambe, Antisana and the Ilinizas.
Imagine Ecuador stands out for blending self-guided rental options with fully guided expeditions, making it flexible for budget backpackers and bucket-list climbers alike. Their team of local guides and willingness to build tailor-made itineraries have earned them a loyal following among independent travellers passing through Ecuador's adventure capital.
