Overview

Ecuador Bike Expedition 2026: Ride across rugged Andean highlands. Ascend into thin-aired mountain passes. Pedal through cloud forests, volcanic valleys, and untamed paramo. The tour is all-inclusive and includes beautiful haciendas and cozy mountain lodges, airport transfers, daily luggage transfers, all main meals, professional guiding, packing list, and much more. The tour is designed around a Base Camp model, meaning that we spend 2-3 nights in most lodges and do day rides starting and finishing at the same lodge.
