Travis Sackett was an experienced traveler with a passion for service.  He dedicated years to volunteering with AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, working in Peru and Guatemala, and most recently, lending a hand in Ecuador.

In February 2021, just two months into his stay in Ecuador, Travis set out on what should have been a routine hike. The trail wasn’t particularly challenging, and witnesses reported seeing him during the day.

But he never returned.

Was it a tragic accident along the path? Or could something more sinister have occurred?

Despite extensive searches, no trace of Travis has ever been found. To this day, his disappearance remains a mystery. 

What really happened to Travis Sackett?
