Ecuador 10 Day Tour

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.

Quito is the capital resting at 9,200 feet and enjoys a well preserved Spanish Colonial centro that showcases the influences of Europe in the New World. A private city tour will be included. Tours start and end in Quito.

Cuenca is arguably the most charming of cities in Ecuador, again maintaining its Spanish heritage with cobble stone streets, stunning cathedrals, museums, a blossoming art scene and funky nightlife. One could compare it with San Miguel de Allende of Mexico sharing the title of UNESCO World Heritage trust Site.

The Amazon Basin creeps up on you as you ride from the high altitudes of Andes to the Oriental, the dense Amazon jungles sliced by roaring rivers. National Parks preserve the fauna and flora offering one a unique opportunity to experience one of the world most compelling natural resources.

The 300 mile long Pacific coast is known for its laid back lifestyle, delicious seafood and great beaches. In fact we promise to share with you some seafood dining, native style, that even the most sophisticated people of the capital city, travel great distances to experience. 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.
