You will ride out of Quito, avoiding any suburban sprawl, and immediately begin navigating a dirt road that will take us first to a chilly highland pampa mountain pass and then through fertile farmlands, beginning our curvy descent into the lowlands of Santo Domingo Province. We'll give you a thorough briefing to get you acquainted with your mission. We'll show you how to operate your GPS unit and provide you with detailed daily route sheets that give you genuine points of interest, elevation profiles, and starting times. You’ll be outfitted with the offroad motorcycle of your choice and given a thoughtful presentation that will answer all your questions concerning local customs, rules of the road, riding signals, etc. Since the first day is long, we recommend picking up your bikes the evening before the tour so that you can get an early start out of Quito on day 1. We suggest that you arrive a day or two early to experience our magnificent capital city while getting acclimated to the high elevation before beginning the tour. Quito is high on the Altiplano Plateau (the highest elevation capital city in the world) in the Andes at 9,350 feet. In 1978, Quito became the first place on the planet to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having the best-preserved historic center in all of Latin America. You’ll begin your four-day “Offroad Ecuador Tour" from our shop located in Quito, Ecuador - 2850 meters (almost 2 miles above sea level) in the Andes Mountains, on the Equator, in South America.
