We believe that a new type of traveler has emerged in the 21st century. A traveler with a thirst for adventure and that is aware of culture and the fragility and importance of wild life. A traveler that is far more knowledgeable than ever before. Barefoot Expeditions thrives on the challenge of serving this new type of traveler. We stand for low impact yet mind blowing adventure and experiential trips to Ecuador. Barefoot Expeditions represents our passion for nature, adventure travel and great service. Diego Altamirano founded Barefoot Expeditions and is a pioneer in the development of the adventure travel experience in Ecuador. Diego has represented and has lead Ecuador in a variety of international tournaments such as the worldwide whitewater rafting championships in Korea and the Czech Republic. Diego has explored Ecuador in search of new and thrilling trips that will bring you closer with nature at its purest. This endless exploration leads to the formation of Barefoot Expeditions as a way to share these experiences with the rest of the world. We want to share this passion with you. Come to Ecuador and experience freedom!
