This self-guided motorcycle adventure tour traverses three distinctive regions in Ecuador: the Pacific Coast, Andes Mountains, and Amazon jungle basin while passing through several climatic zones, including cloudforests, coastal savannah, beach, desert, and the Amazon jungle.
The routes selected are primarily on paved backroads, avoiding as much as possible busy thoroughfares such as the Panamerican highway.  Accommodations are non-touristy, boutique hotels, lodges, and inns. You'll have a map and GPS with pre-programmed routes for each day, a hotel to aim for each night, and all the time in the world to get there. Ecuador Freedom provides a "Road Book" with thorough, day-to-day information, including descriptions of local highlights, history, and "hidden gems" that aren't common knowledge. You can use this information to tailor your days' rides, including as much or as little as you like. Optional unpaved routes are available on some days and will be available in the programmed GPS.

This motorcycle adventure tour is an opportunity to experience several different cultures and varied ways of life, from traditional coastal villages to indigenous people in the highlands and Amazon basin. The tour goes through some of the most bio-diverse regions globally and parts of rural Ecuador that few visitors get to see. Available activities include a special chocolate tour, a hike and swim in a waterfall, the Inti-ñan Solar Museum, and an included Amazon jungle hike and canoe excursion. The tour packs a lot into an inspiring nine days to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Mindo

Elevation Profile - Day 1

Riding down into the cloudforst on an Ecuador Motorcycle Adventure TOur

Day 1

Quito-Inti'ñan-Pululahua Crater-Bellavista-Mindo

equator_lineYou'll begin this 9-day/8-night "Andes, Amazon and Pacific Coast" self-guided motorcycle tour from our shop in Quito, Ecuador. In 1978, Quito became the first place on the planet to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having the best-preserved historic center in all of Latin America. Quito is high on the Altiplano Plateau (the second highest in the world) in the Andes at 9,350 feet.  We suggest that you arrive a day or two early to experience our magnificent capital city while getting acclimated to the high altitude before beginning the tour.rding motorcycle in ecuador cloudforest

During the first morning of the tour, you'll be outfitted with the motorcycle of your choice and given a thorough orientation answering all questions concerning local customs, rules of the road, Ecuadorian driver courtesies, and more. We will show you how to operate your pre-programmed GPS unit with daily routes and be given a "Road Book" with details and points of interest for each day. We will also provide an "emergency kit" containing a pre-paid cell phone, first aid kit, tools, and other items to ensure your ride goes smoothly.

On the first day, we purposefully selected a route that includes a sampling of the different types of roads that you will be riding.  You will have the opportunity to safely become accustomed to asphalt, dry gravel, cobblestone, and dirt farm roads. 

MindoInti-ñan means "path of the Sun" in the Quechua language, and the Inti-ñan Museum is situated directly on the Equator. The indigenous peoples have revered this site for thousands of years. You will learn how ancient people came to understand that this was the center of the world centuries before the advent of modern geography or GPS devices. During your first stop directly on the "red line," you will experiment with gravity, including witnessing how water drains either clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on which side of the Equator you are standing. You will also have the opportunity to see how Ecuador's indigenous populations live by visiting their homes' models. These visits will enable you to understand better the cultures and ways of life that you will experience as we pass through the various regions.

Departing the Inti-ñan Museum, you are now officially outside of the Quito metropolitan region and have begun riding in the Northern Hemisphere. Your second stop is to view the beautiful Pululahua Crater Geo-Botanical Reserve, a crater formed by a volcanic eruption 2,500 years ago. From there, head onto the Andes' western slopes full of dense, green forests, massive waterfalls, and steep mountains. Riding the sharp curves is sure to be exhilarating fun.  mindo_1

We recommend that you have lunch in the garden of a fantastic restaurant in the heart of the cloudforest. You'll watch in amazement as hundreds of colorful birds surround you as you enjoy lunch.

septimo_paraiso_cloudforest_reserveChanging the pace a little bit, you'll take a left turn off the main highway and venture onto an unpaved, unmarked road that leads even deeper into the cloudforest. Here, at the world-famous Bellavista Cloudforest Bird Lodge, take a break on their fantastic patio and watch hundreds of hummingbirds flitting around you.  These are all of a completely different species than the birds seen at lunch.  There is no other place on earth where you can view so many species of birds. Note that the unpaved section is optional - you can continue along the newly paved highway to Mindo if you are not comfortable riding on unpaved roads- select the paved option in the programmed GPS.
Septimo Paraiso

Continue through the lush cloudforest along clear streams with cascading waterfalls to the funky, eclectic town of Mindo. Mindo is situated in a warm microclimate cloudforest that's known for its natural beauty and great restaurants. You can visit the Yumbo chocolate factory for a tour that entertains while educating about organic cocoa's farming and processing and how it is turned into chocolate and formed into bars.   You will want to sample this chocolate, as Ecuador produces the best chocolate in the world.

After you visit Yumbo Chocolate, check into the carefully-selected accommodations for the night deep in the cloudforest setting at the charming Septimo Paraiso Cloudforest Reserve Lodge, winner of many international awards.

What to Expect

This self-guided motorcycle adventure tour will start in our offices located in the Carolina neighborhood of Quito.  Before your departure, we will give you a detailed and thoughtful presentation on Ecuadorian rules of the road, customs, and courtesies. We will instruct you on how to operate your pre-programmed GPS navigation unit and given a packet that includes your prepaid hotel vouchers, a "Road Book" containing genuine points of interest, descriptions of local highlights, and "hidden gems" that aren't common knowledge.  You can use this information to tailor your days - including as much or as little as you like. The route will be reviewed with you in detail to provide you with additional useful information about the timing, suggestions for lunch stops, and where to get gas along the way.  

On the morning of your departure, you will be provided the adventure motorcycle (or 4x4) of your choice, which is fitted with a waterproof luggage system, a first aid kit, a tankbag if you want one, spare innertubes (or tire repair kit), and a set of tools. You will also have a prepaid cell phone to call us for support at any time during your trip.  We will carefully review the bike using our multi-point checklist to ensure that everything is in perfect working order before your departure and that you know what to do in case of an emergency or breakdown.

The route you will follow over the next nine days is based on several years' of experience and riding these routes many times on our guided version of the same tour.  The journey is fully paved with an optional unpaved section on Day 1.  Most of the route is on recently paved backroads with little traffic selected to provide enjoyable motorcycling or driving. We have programmed many interesting stops in the GPS unit and the daily route sheets, and you can stop at any you choose along the way.

You will have many opportunities for amazing photos and stops in interesting locations to meet local people. Locals are friendly and the areas visited are very safe with very low crime rates. 

During your ride, Ecuador Freedom staff will monitor your daily progress using an onboard GPS satellite tracking system and can assist you by telephone if you need to change your route, need roadside assistance, or help in any way.

Upon returning, you will have access to our honor bar, jacuzzi, hot shower, and staff that can assist you with your next destination.

Weather and Temperatures

Weather and temperature ranges in Ecuador are generally the same year-round. You can expect the chance of passing showers in the highlands but rarely a full day of rain.  Chances for a full day of rain are more likely on the western slopes of the Andes in March, April, and early May.  This ride will be in elevations of sea level (where temperatures can be around 90 degrees Fahrenheit) to 14,500 feet (where temperatures can be in the 30's Fahrenheit). Dressing in layers is recommended.  Please see this article for more information about the weather in Ecuador. 

Accommodations
Throughout the tour, you will stay in carefully selected, ideally-located, non-touristy, comfortable, higher-end accommodations. See this page for details, photos, and links to the accommodations provided.  Ecuador Freedom has the right to substitute accommodations of equal quality due to availability and will notify you of these changes.

Packing List and Preparation
Ecuador Freedom will provide you with detailed information to prepare for the ride, including a packing list.  You should know how to make general motorcycle repairs and maintenance and to be able to change an innertube (click for a video tutorial).  Before you travel, we recommend that you familiarize yourself in advance with these recommended guidebooks and maps.
