Ecuador Bike Rental
What if you could traverse three entirely different ecosystems in a single afternoon? This 5-day adrenaline-fueled loop is a masterclass in diversity. Start your engine in the crisp Andean air of Quito, climb to the rim of the emerald Quilotoa Crater Lake, and then dive nearly 3,500 meters down into the humid heart of the Amazon Basin. From the scent of eucalyptus in the highlands to the tropical warmth of the rainforest, this tour proves that in Ecuador, the world changes with every turn of the throttle.
Experience the world’s most dramatic climate shift on two wheels. In just 5 days, you’ll ride from the alpine tundra—home of the Andean Condor—to the lush waterfalls of the deep jungle.
The Ascent: Scale the heights of the Quilotoa Volcano at 3,914m (12,800 ft).
The Descent: Drop into the Amazon Basin for a total immersion in tropical biodiversity.
The Experience: Curated stops for local gastronomy, indigenous culture, and world-class photography.
High altitude. High adrenaline. Zero compromises.

Suggested Itinerary
QUITO – SIGCHOS – QUILOTOA – BAÑOS (QUILOTOA LOOP)
On this day, we’ll start with a briefing in our offices in Quito, located in the heart of the capital. You will fill out the last paperwork needed to be filled, then you will be able to try on your gear, test it, and finally, we’ll go to your motorcycle rental. After a quick guide and briefing on roads and safety, you’ll begin your tour.
The departure will be at 09:00 sharp after all the formalities are completed. It will take you approximately one hour of riding to get to know the roads better and be familiar with the traffic. We’ll ride towards the highest point on the tour, Lake Quilotoa first.
The route passes through different communities like Sigchos, Chucchilan, and Quilotoa, with outstanding sights of the Andes valleys, passing by really close to the Illinizas sisters. Reaching the top of the crater of Quilotoa, we’ll make a stop to have lunch in the restaurants of the crater. Here you will be able to try our best typical food from the Andes side of the country. Now, off to Baños de Agua Santa. This place is one of the top destinations for tourists around the world. The magical city located next to the active volcano, Tungurahua, offers wonderful attractions during the day, from the canopy, trekking (optional activities, not included), the great waterfall ‘El Manto de la Novia’ meaning ‘The bride's mantle ', and our favorite, ‘El Pailón del Diablo’. Be ready to submerge yourself into deep adventure, feel the experience of being next to an active volcano, and even watch it spit out lava at night.
If you still have energy, a complimentary drink will be served to turn on the party mode. Another main reason why Baños is such a touristy place is its nightlife.
Bars and clubs open at 08:00 PM and close at 03:00 AM. You will feel the Latin presence in any club of your choosing; Baños offers all styles for partying at very low prices. Native drinks are offered complimentary once you enter the club.
