Introduction to Ecuador Tour – Feb. 4-15, 2016
An unforgettable motorcycle adventure through the best of Ecuador.
Ecuador is one of the most geographically, culturally, and biologically diverse countries in the world. Amazing landscapes encompassing rainforests, Andean mountain ranges, coastal ranges, deserts and tropical grasslands make this South American country a haven for astonishing wildlife, stunning panoramas as well as rich anthropological and cultural sites.
The Introduction to Ecuador Tour will take you to all of the best that continental Ecuador has to offer on this absolutely unforgettable motorcycle adventure.
We will visit all of the major regions of continental Ecuador – the Andes, the Coast and the Amazon Basin. We will have time to explore the major cities of Quito, Loja, Manta, Esmeraldas and Cuenca, including many places declared “World Heritage Sites” by the United Nations. We’ll visit the popular “gringo”hangouts such as Canoa, Vilcabamba, Otavalo and Baños. We will experience the various cuisines and cultures of Ecuador such as the creole cuisine in Esmeraldas, fresh coffee from plantations in Loja, fresh chocolate from the cacao plantations in Vinces, hearty soups of the Andean highlands, and steamed fish wrapped in Amazonian jungle leaves.
One of the things that sets a motorcycle trip apart from other types of tourism are the scents, fragrances and aromas that you can experience while riding – you can’t experience these while travelling in a bus or car. Ecuador provides you with a feast for all your senses – you will pass through brilliant fields of multi-colored roses, see wild orchids in the rainforests, smell the eucalyptus and pine forests, ripening bananas, and ride through salty mist along the shore. You’ll smell the fresh, wood-oven baked bread in colonial cities.
The Introduction to Ecuador Tour will also take you off the beaten track to explore some of the wild areas of Ecuador. It is one of the most adventurous tours that you can do, giving you access to untouched wildlife and unforgettable insight into how native Ecuadorians have lived for centuries.
