“Right now, Ecuador may be making news for political turmoil and cartel violence, but from where I’m standing, this is also Ecuador: a dreamlike country with a landscape that lends itself to adventure and people whose spirits are genuinely kind and resilient.”

Welcome to the jungle 🐛🌿🇪🇨

On our trip last fall to the Ecuadorian Amazon, we caught up with some Cotopaxi Foundation impact partners transforming communities through sustainable crops, from tea leaves and coffee to heirloom jungle peanuts.

Here are 7 of our favorite photos from the trip:
1. Glenda and her mom Luduvina pick Guayusa tea leaves
2. Luchano and his wife check on their backyard plants: pineapple, yucca, and heirloom jungle peanuts
3. .barrera.ph (our Ecuadorian videographer) and his drone were a hit with little locals
4. Maria tends to a vanilla bean plant in her chakra garden (an ancestral farming technique focused on biodiversity)
5. An instructor from our Foundation partner ALIADOS holds a community workshop on growing & processing plantains
6. Beatrice washes fresh-caught tilapia for breakfast during a guayusa tea ceremony at 4:30am
7. Squirrel monkeys, clown monkeys, mono payaso—they go by many names and do all the monkey things

Stay tuned for the coffee story from our Ecuador impact series (dropping Oct. 1) and peep more photos from the Amazon at the link in bio.

Inspired by starry skies, deep space, and lava rocks, the Del Día Dark Collection is back, just in time for the Perseid Meteor Shower peak this weekend ☄️💫

And now, our all-new Allpa 35L Travel Pack is available in this unique color drop, along with our Batac 16L daypack and Kapai 1.5L Hip Pack.

Like our entire Del Día Collection, these packs are made from 100% leftover fabric that might have otherwise gone to the landfill. On these packs, that means the trim on each pack is colorfully unique—no two packs are alike.

Y = the square root of our back-to-school collection divided by all the compartments you need to the power of the colors and styles you’ve been looking for (x). Find x.

“We climbed the Nose on El Capitan! What a whirlwind it was, but my heart is so full. It was all of the above—grueling, exciting, scary, fun, exhausting, and enthralling. I learned a lot and can’t wait to go back to push more limits.”

Whether it's science, math, llama studies, or writing, we all have that one thing we're passionate about. This school year, we have a bag for you to keep doing you.

“Camping with your best friends > everything else.”

In the stillness of the night, distractions fade away and the Teca Fleece comes out to play. Who’s up when the suns down?

Named after a city in the Philippines where our Del Dìa pack are made, The Bataan 3L is our take on the classic F***y pack.

Guess what’s in the bag. Wrong answers only.

That feeling that hits the moment you step off the plane.

"It's a weird mix of anticipation, nerves, and excitement entertained as the first coat of chalk covers my hands.

Yesterday was all about finding my route, today is all about getting intimate with it. Understanding how my feet and hands move through it."
