Mountain Bike Ecuador: Andean Mountain Bike Experience

Using mountain bikes we experience some of the most impressive sites to be found in Ecuador. The rich culture found in this Andean country along with stunning scenery make for the perfect mountain biking backdrop.

Each day includes a comfortable day-long bike trip. Vehicle support is used each day. Bilingual guides escort the group each day. At the end of each day we enjoy the hospitality of a comfortable inn or lodge and meals of delicious, traditional Ecuadorian dishes.

Many of the days begin at the snow level of one of the numerous volcanoes, with a route that winds down the flank of the volcano.  On any given day we head downhill, surrounded by condors, llamas, wild mustangs and local herders on horseback. Another day we bike through the Valley of the Volcanoes, surrounded by views of Cotopaxi Volcano in the distance. For a change of scenery, we head to the Oriente Region of Ecuador for lower-elevation, jungle roads that lead us by indigenous villages. One of the favorite days includes a trip through a private reserve to the entrance of the Pappallacta Hot Springs. The hot springs are a tremendous way to wind down and soothe well-used muscles!

Trips are designed as 9-day custom trips, available from December through March. Special custom packages can be set up to include the Galapagos Islands, Amazon River trips, whitewater rafting trips and cultural touring.

We look forward to sharing this great experience with you!
