Ecuador Biking - Bike Rides - Mountain Biking

Mountain Bikes are available from US$8 to $20 each per day. Biking at altitude 3200 meters (10,500 feet), in thin air, with the landscape's dramatic contours, is a challenge for most riders. We recommend a few downhill bike rides.

1. Chugchilán to Sigchos, 24 km, mostly downhill. You can take the daily bus from Sigchos back to Chugchilán with the bikes on the roof. Great views as the road winds along the canyon edge and visit a waterfall 6 km away.

2. Laguna Quilotoa to Chugchilán, 22 km, mostly downhill. Catch a bus up to the volcanic crater of Quilotoa, spend some time hiking around the rim or hike down to the water's edge and then race the mountain bike back to Chugchilán.

3. For other rides at this altitude you should be in good physical shape. Bicycle up to the Cheese Factory and across the Paramó. Visit the Pre-Inca ruins and Cloud Forest or bike up to Laguna Quilotoa at over 3800 meters.

Alternatively, hire a local truck with driver to do all the work for you. We can organize Transportation for you to Laguna Quilotoa, Zumbahua Market, or deep into the Iliniza Ecological Reserve. All excursions are with a driver.
