The tourism ministry of Ecuador in order to improve tourism and encourage people from all over the world to come and visit the country, started creating routes, that of course already existed physically, and they were normally visited by Ecuadorians, but they didn’t have a name, so it was impossible to do publicity to sell these destinations abroad, so as a result of this process we have this route called “the Spondylus route”, EcuadorBike rental and motorcycle adventure tours in Ecuador will let our customers to see the essence of the area, such as people in their regular lives, culture and activities, and of course the nature environment surrounding us faster and deeper, thanks to the fact of riding our bikes and the experience in the area.

The name comes from the spondylus shell, element that had vital importance for pre-Columbian indigenous groups that existed on the coast of Ecuador (Valdivia, Machalilla, Chorrera etc.) for fertility rituals of the land, it was even used as “currency” to get products that weren’t from the area (we have found handcrafts made out of this shell in the Andean area and this shell was only found in the coast of ECUADOR, not Peru, not Colombia, only in this paradise called Ecuador)
