Cloudforest, Coast & Craters Adventure – Mar. 29-Apr. 4, 2026

A multi-day ride through one of the most bio-diverse areas of the world.

Published on 08.26.2025

This 7-day tour is a combination of Ecuador Freedom’s most popular tours and will pass through several climatic zones, including cloudforest, coastal savannah, beach, desert, and the rainforest on the eastern and western slopes.

Ecuador Freedom Laguna Quilotoa

The route you will follow throughout the ride is based on Ecuador Freedom’s many years of experience after riding these routes many times. The route is a combination of paved backroads and unpaved, unimproved dirt roads through the country’s remote regions. The roads are chosen for their lack of traffic, engaging off-bike activities, and outstanding scenery. Ecuador Freedom guides will make many stops throughout the day to introduce you to the locals, explain the local history, and show you “hidden gems” that are not common knowledge.

You will not need to pull out your wallet on this ride, as this is an all-inclusive guided tour. All meals, gasoline, entrance fees, etc. are included in the tour price. Just relax and enjoy the experience. No need to “push your limits.” Just look around, enjoy the ride and the amazing scenery along the way.
