About this trip

Mountain Bike in the Paradise of Latin America!


This is our Winter Ecuador MTB Enduro Itinerary. Very similar to our Summer Itinerary but takes you to the north of the country instead of the South. To mountain bike Ecuador is to ride amongst giants. This trip will leave even the most experienced mountain bikers with their jaw dragging on the floor. . . When we say that Ecuador is a mountain biker’s paradise we mean it. Ecuador boasts the largest descents in the world (average of 2,000 meters), volcanic free rides at 4,000 meters of elevation, jungle descents through cocoa and banana plantations, and mountain biking trails that were formed by the fingers of a mountain bike god! 


So if you lay awake at night dreaming of biking at the base of glacial volcanoes and descending over 3,000 vertical meters everyday, you’re ready to mountain bike Ecuador!

Trip Highlights

- Ride your bike in subtropical jungles under the cover of lush green canopies

- Have the opportunity to discover ALL of Ecuador.

- Freeride down the ancient CotoPaxi and Chimborazo volcanoes.

- Mountain bike down trails that were a part of the great Inkan highway that extended from Colombia all the way to Chile!

- Have the opportunity to ride your bike in over 15 different eco-systems!!
