Best of Ecuador 16 Day Tour

This is the ultimate Ecuador motorcycling experience riding all three of the prominent regions; the Amazona Oriente, the Pacific coast and the Andes. MotoDiscovery again is leading the way in South America with Ecuador our latest project and one that we are convinced will become the buzz of the motorcycle touring community. As with much of the Latin American world we love its blend of native character, the Old World influences of Spain and the intrigue of its ancient pre-Colombian history. Combine this with incomparable natural resources and awesome roads and you have the perfect formula for great adventure touring.

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 Oriente, 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 worlds most compelling natural resources.

The 300 mile long Pacific coast enjoys a laid back lifestyle and is known for 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.
