What if you are told that you could be in completely different worlds in a matter of hours? In sceneries that could take you from a lake inside of the crater of a Volcano, to be quite deep in the Amazon basin, to explore the country’s most beautiful waterfalls, and be able to interact with all nature around you. Pretty astonishing right? Be prepared for this 5-day tour that will take you through different landscapes and keep your adrenaline at an all-time high. Making you experience all the diversity and beauty that Ecuador has to offer.
This route will start at the capital Quito at 2500 m.a.m.s.l. (8300 f.a.s.l.) to 3914 m.a.m.s.l. (12800 f.a.s.l.) at the top of the Quilotoa crater, and then descending to 450 m.a.m.s.l. (1470 f.a.s.l.) in the Amazon Basin. Hence the name for this motorcycle adventure.
In the morning you will be in a temperate climate, being able to smell the scent of eucalyptus, and in a matter of minutes, you will be in the alpine tundra, home of the iconic wild bird of our country, the condor. Later in the afternoon, you will feel the warmth and the humidity of the coast-side of Ecuador. Given the change in climates, the biodiversity observed on this tour can’t be found anywhere else. Its fauna and flora changes are an unforgettable experience. There is no better way to do this than in a reliable motorcycle. Activities are scheduled in every stop for you to take pictures, try different types of food in each environment, see the life of residents, and be involved as much as possible with the country.
Our preferred bikes for this adventure are Suzuki DR 650, Honda XRE 300, Royal Enfield Himalaya, Honda Africa Twin Adventure, and BMW F800.
