ABOUT US

Andean Turtle Tours Is coordinated By Mogge the Swedish Viking.

Mogge a Swedish Viking who is fluent in Swedish, English and Spanish started MOGGELY in 1998 and built up the company from scratch. Today we are one of the biggest and one of the most highly recommended tour operators for Trekking and Climbing in Ecuador. Unfortunately because of a divorce we have had to change the name of the company to Andean Turtle Tours. We take up to 400 clients up Cotopaxi each year. We have been the direct operator for WCE - World Challenge Ecuador for 8 years. These student groups from Great Britain (with 300-400 students a year), must have our guides with them for any high peaks, climbing and trekking tours. Due to their high security policy they are not allowed to go with any other Mountain Operator in Ecuador. Mogge also does the mountain rescues for the British embassy and several other countries, and have personally coordinated four mountain rescues for WCE.

ECUADOR in the North West corner of South America holds an amazing variety of flora and fauna, and many variations in climate between the different regions due to the enormous differences in altitude. There are five main geographic zones, The Highlands, the Cloud Forest, the Amazon, the Coast and the Galapagos Islands. Ecuador is the smallest country in the Andes with 256,370 Square Km. Considering this it is amazing that Ecuador is one of the 18 registered Mega diverse Countries in the world. For example there are around 25,000 plants & 6000 different butterflies and 1600 species of birds - more than double the number of bird species found in North America.

Andean Turtle Tours is specialized in Galapagos - Jungle - Trekking - Climbing Tours - Puerto Lopez expeditions on the coast & Tailor made Programs. We also arrange a lot of other tours and your special requests. We always work in the most ECO friendly way possible. We know all the operators for specific areas personally. So all you need to do is just stay a little bit flexible due to the weather or other extremes and have a positive attitude.

ECUADOR is also one of the least expensive and safest countries in South America. You can take a night bus from Quito and reach the jungle or the coast in about 8-10 hours. You save yourself a lot of money because you do not have to fly if you don’t want to. In this amazing country you can experience a fantastic adventure. You can stay for a month traveling around and you will still wish you had more time. It’s easy to fall in love with Ecuador. The Capital of Ecuador, Quito is also called "La cara de dios" The face of god - for its beauty. On the 9 January 2000, the US Dollar became the official currency.
