FAQs

Q: What type of person normally signs up for this type of adventure week?
A: In the past three years we have had people come down and walk the entire race.  We have had people plan to run the entire race and walk.  We have had people plan to walk the entire race and run the whole thing!  We have had men and women, single and married, solo and with a group, between the ages of 22 and 62.  There is no mold here. 

Q: Should I pay extra for lodging or is camping for 4 nights and lodging for 3 nights for me?
A: There’s no wrong answer here either.  In the past few years up in Costa Rica, half of our participants paid extra for lodging and half decided to camp.  If you don’t already have camping gear, a good set up will run you approximately $300, hence our additional charge. 

Q: What is the quality of lodging like?
A: We apologize for the tough love, but it’s not five star!  It will be comfortable, there will be a bed, there will be sheets, but it’s not the Ritz. 

Q: Are there bathroom and shower facilities throughout the week?
A: YES!  Whether you are lodging or camping, you’ll always have facilities available to you. 

Q: Will we have free time throughout the week?
A: Absolutely.  From time off in the beautiful city of Quito to multiple hours per day in each region, you’ll have plenty of time to do the things you want (i.e. explore, nap, read, relax, or enjoy an Ecuador cocktail at happy hour). 

Q: If I bring a group, is there any discount involved?
A: Please do and yes there is.  For every nine participants that you register, one additional participant may come for free.  We encourage you to work with our staff on providing any information you may need to get all of your family and friends on board.
