It is no wonder that Ecuador has reached such a desirable status among adventurers. It has it all, from the lush green Amazon basin to towering snow capped volcanoes and a laid back beach scene. The Galapagos Islands are accessed from Ecuador and should be considered as a must see while "in the neighborhood". Ecuador is a delight in that it provides us all the essential components that make for a great MotoDiscovery touring experience; exceptional roads, scenery, diversity and a colorful culture. And because adventure need not deny you some of the finer things in life, a selection of fine accommodations and the opportunities for alta cocina dining will make your experience as enjoyable off the motorcycle as it will when you explore this enchanting country aboard a selection of new BMW motorcycles.

The 300 mile long Pacific coast is known for its laid back lifestyle, delicious seafood and great beaches.

Here is a hint...keeping it authentic!
Banos is situated in a valley of waterfalls, hot springs and will no doubt endear you to Ecuador. It is a gateway for adventurers who are heading out to explore the natural wonders of the country. Nearby volcanoes lure the most intrepid of adventurers to their rims.
