Ecuador is a truly unique destination. The climate of this equatorial country remains almost the same across its entire territory. Over two weeks we will see all the diversity Ecuador has to offer. We will ride along the Pacific coast, admire the magnitude of dormant volcanoes, and marvel at the beauty of alpine lakes and luscious Amazon rainforest.
Most of our itinerary is mapped in the Andes, so prepare for lots and lots of twisties! Ecuador has well-surfaced roads for guaranteed riding delight. After crossing the equator we will ride all over the Andes and spend a night at the foot of the country's highest mountain – dormant volcano Chimborazo. While travelling in the highland we are going to soar on the world-famous El Veuelo del Condor swing and see crater lake Quilotoa.
On one of the days we will venture into the Amazon jungle. Try your luck while panning for gold in the Napo River, reach out to the spirits at the shaman's hut, feed caimans in their natural habitat and take breathtaking pictures of the unique flora and fauna. And when you feel like you could take a break from twisting the throttle, we will hit the Pacific coast. Soak up in the ocean, get a suntan or join us on an excursion to an island natural reserve for a diving and turtle-watching experience!

Quito
The capital of Ecuador situated 24 km off the equator at an elevation of over 2,800 m. In 1978 Quito was among the first places in the world to be declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to its the largest, least-altered, and best-preserved historic center in the Americas.
Amazon Jungle Ride, Puerto Misahualli
Prepare yourself for a feature-packed excursion into pristine rainforest! Take a boat ride down river Napo, explore the local flora and fauna, taste exotic fruits and enjoy a visit to a wildlife sanctuary where you can feed caimans in their natural habitat. Hone your prospecting skills while panning for gold with the locals. And, finally, get a blessing and some ancient wisdom from a shaman from one of the aboriginal tribes.
Chimborazo volcano
A prominent stratovolcano with the top at 6,267 m which is currently inactive. This is the highest point of Ecuador. From the 16th to the early 19th century Chimborazo was considered to be the highest peak in the world.
Devil's Waterfall, Baños
An awe-inspiring waterfall falling from over 80 m. We will follow a narrow cave-like trail which follows the cliffs for a closer view that you will never forget!
Lake Quilotoa
This 250 m deep lake once filled the crater of the most western volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes. The lake was formed 800 years ago after a catastrophic eruption.
Isla de la Plata, Puerto Cayo
The island off the pacific coast of Ecuador is part of a national park with a huge variety of animal species. After a quick motorboat ride you can enjoy a leisurely walk on the beach or go scuba diving to explore the underwater world.
