Led by pro photographers — Ecuador & beyond
A Photo Hiking Tour blends outdoor exploration with hands-on photography coaching. Unlike typical sightseeing tours, we slow down to focus on light, composition, and storytelling — turning every trail into a creative classroom.

Hands down the highlight of my trip to Ecuador. I felt super safe and the whole trip was highly purposeful. I'm coming home with some of my favorite photos ever.
If you want to explore Ecuador beyond the tourist routes, this is the tour to book. Camilo's experience as a national mountain guide really shows — he knows the terrain, the weather, and the hidden viewpoints you'd never find on your own.
The passion Celia and Camilo have is so contagious. They take the time to understand what you want to capture and tailor the experience around that. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring with friends.
ICHU is led by Celia Calle and Camilo Andrade — a team that blends thoughtful planning with deep, on-the-ground experience.
Certified mountain & national guide with 15+ years of experience — deep knowledge of the landscape and culture along the trail.
Business operations director & social economist — every tour is well-designed, ethical, and smoothly run.
