Overview

This 7-day cross-country ride flows through the Andes from open volcano country to misty cloud forest, linking places that rarely share the same journey. We pedal beneath Cotopaxi and Cayambe, roll into the Pululahua crater, soak in Papallacta’s hot springs, and stay in historic haciendas rooted in the landscape. Cycling brings everything closer—shared meals, market visits, easy conversations, and time spent with local communities. Led by guides who know these roads intimately, the experience feels welcoming, grounded, and unmistakably Ecuadorian.
