Ecuador -- Jungle And Tall Volcanoes

 

Harmen Hoek takes us on a silent hike through jungles and up the tallest volcanoes in Ecuador.  He previews:

In November 2025, I traveled to Ecuador to climb the three tallest volcanoes in the country together with Mountain Beat Adventures - Cayambe, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo. Cayambe is the highest point on the equator, while Chimborazo is the point on Earth furthest from the planet’s center. After the climbs, I continued exploring Ecuador to experience more of the country’s incredible variety. From the crater lake of Laguna Quilotoa and the waterfalls of Baños, to climbing Tungurahua by myself and visiting the Amazon jungle near Tena and the Rio Napo. This film combines all of those experiences into one journey through some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes Ecuador has to offer. 

Stunning scenery as usual, with the great variety of Ecuador's landscapes on display (paid promotions included).

Utah Desert, Forests, And Mountains

 

Harmen Hoek goes on a 7- day solo backpacking ride through the Utah desert from Moab, through Canyonlands National Park, the La Sal Mountains, and into the Lockhart Basin.  With temperatures reaching 115 degrees F, it was a more extreme experience than we usually see on these silent adventures.  Some of the most jaw- dropping vistas we've ever seen.  Beautiful Navajo sandstone formations (watch full screen!).  (Paid promotion included at the end.)

Réunion Island

 

Take a silent hike with Harmen Hoek across stunning Réunion Island, a French department with a population of over 850,000 in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar.  In area, it's almost twice the size of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands.  See Les Trois Roches waterfall, the Piton des Neige, the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, and more (includes paid promotion). Absolutely gorgeous.

Dolomites

 

This morning Harmen Hoek takes us silent hiking through the rugged Italian Dolomites in the Autumn (includes a paid promotional).
