South America motorcycle trip on a budget

What if i tell you that traveling to three different worlds in 11 days is not impossible, and that there is no need of selling a kidney on the “darknet”. If you already started budgeting your next trip to this amazing country, I can give you a hand on it. We will be talking about tickets, food, attractions and some other expenses you can find during your stay in Ecuador. 

The cost of a ticket from the USA/Canada/UK to Ecuador can vary depending on several factors, such as the time of year, the airline, the departure city, and the booking time. Generally, prices tend to be higher during peak travel seasons, such as major holidays and summer vacation periods.

USA

To give you an idea of the range of prices you might expect, I’ll provide some approximate estimates based on a search of a few popular travel booking websites. Keep in mind that these prices are subject to change and may not reflect the actual cost at the time of booking.

During the low season (typically April to June and September to November), you might find tickets from major US cities like New York or Miami to Quito or Guayaquil for around $400-$600 round trip.

During the high season (typically December to March and June to August), prices can increase significantly, with tickets ranging from $600 to $1000 or more for the same routes and cities.

Of course, these are just rough estimates, and the actual cost of your ticket will depend on several factors specific to your trip, including your departure and arrival cities, travel dates, airline, and booking time. I recommend checking with multiple airlines and travel booking websites to compare prices and find the best deal for your specific travel needs.

Our typical food

Locro de papa

Is a delicious potato stew that may contain cheese and rinds, and which is served along with avocado and toasted corn. With its creamy texture and incomparable flavor, this soup is a true delicacy worth sampling when in Ecuador.

Mote pillo

Is a traditional dish in Ecuadorian cuisine and it is made with mote (cooked mature corn) and egg.

Ceviche de camaron:

Shrimp ceviche or cebiche is one of the most traditional dishes in Ecuador, especially on the coast of the country. Shrimp ceviche reigns in Ecuador for its top-quality shrimp, while conch, fish, and other seafood ceviches hold their own renown. One of the particularities is that the shrimp is cooked, and not only marinated in lemon. Don’t hesitate to try this delicious and light dish, which goes very well with a delicious chile and a nice cold national beer, as well as a garnish of chifles (thin strips of fried green plantains), patacones (flattened slices of fried green plantains), canguil (popcorn) or tostado (toasted corn). 

Bolones de verde

You can’t miss the experience of eating a delicious bolón de verde whether it is filled with cheese, chicharron (deep fried pork), or both. The bolón de verde is prepared with green plantains which are cooked and smashed until they form a dough, which can be filled with cheese, fried pork, among other things. After that, this dough is chilled, baked or fried. Bolones are typically enjoyed for breakfast, but their deliciousness makes them suitable for dinner or as side dishes. The bolones tend to be accompanied with dried meat, fried or scrambled egg, and of course, a cup of coffee. 

Beyond food, if you’re traveling far, consider trying extreme sports or other activities not included in the tour. Well, I can list you some that can be a great idea on each city
