WE WERE ON TV – ECUADOR –
We will travel through the Pacific coast, the Andes and the Amazon region, three of the four major environments of Ecuador on our tour through one of the most diversified countries of the world. The Galapagos Islands are not part of our tour but if you like to extend your vacation, you could add them as well.
Ecuador has a lot to offer and is a very safe country which has proven to have a stable government for over many years. American dollars are used as currency in Ecuador. You do have to get used to the 50 cent coin. Even the power outlets are the same as in the USA. You will enjoy introducing your pallet to a variety of exciting food throughout the tour. MAXimal Tours is proud to represent the fine hotels we will lodge in.
Let us take you on an adventure into the southern hemisphere over the equator to Ecuador; the motorcycle paradise in the northwest of South America.

ITINERARY – MAXimal Ecuador Tour (Changes possible)
Day 1 November 9th 2024
Quito
Quito is the main capital of Ecuador with an elevation of 9200 feet and therefore the highest capital city in the world. From Quito you will have a great view to the Vulcan Cotopaxi. One of the attraction of Quito is the old city, dating back to the 16th century and has been named a World Heritage Site since 1979.
Day 2 November 10th 2024
Quito – Mitad del Mundo (center of the world) – Puerto Quito Quinta Heliconia
Twenty-three (23) Kilometers north of Quito is the “Center of the World.” Charles Marie de La Condamine, as the first European, during a French expedition in 1736, determined that Mitad del Mundo was the exact location of the Equator. However, today we know that he was 240 meters off. We will continue our tour on a very curvy road towards Puerto Quito; The fantastic finca & our friend Ralph Sommer are waiting with great food and accomodation
Day 3 November 11th 2024
Puerto Quito – Canoa
Our ride will continue toward and along the Pacific coast of Ecuador. Canoa is a beautiful spot on the Northern Pacific Coast. Located just north of Bahia de Caraquez you’ll find a small town full of fun. The sandy beach stretches north toward towering cliffs that can be explored at low tide. We will be riding on the “Panamerica Highway” and revisit this famous road many times during our tour.
Day 4 November 12th 2024
Canoa – Puerto Cayo
Today we will follow the Pacific coast until we arrive in Puerto Cayo. The hotel is right by the pacific ocean so that we can enjoy the view of the surf in the evening. The hotel is the best in the area. The owner will treat us to fantastic Ecuadorian cuisine is you so desire.
Day 5 November 13th 2024
Puerto Cayo – Quevedo
We will be leaving the first of the four environments of Ecuador, the Pacific coast and ride towards the east. We will stop for the night in Quevedo which is at the foot of the Andes. Quevedo is also called the Chinatown of Ecuador. Let’s see what surprises this city will present us.
Day 6 November 14th 2024
Quevedo – Baños de Agua Santa
Our ride to Banos is very diverse and has, like all sections on this tour, countless curves. After a few days of riding you will have the feeling that there are no straight roads in Ecuador. As we leave Quevedo you will notice that we will constantly ride uphill until we arrive at Quilotoa, where we will visit the crater lake at approximately 13,000 feet.
Banos, our evening destination, is at a lower elevation of 5,900 feet and a very culturally inviting city with a beautiful church. Banos is known for its many natural springs and baths.
Day 7 November 15th 2024
Baños de Agua Santa – Cuenca
We will be leaving the idyllic Banos and ride to the Andes capital city of Cuenca. An amazing riding day is waiting for us with lots of curves and mountain roads. Cuenca is the most European-like city in Ecuador. You will feel as if you have stepped into Madrid or Milan. Cuenca is considered the most beautiful city in all of South America. You will find many fine restaurants and boutiques.
Day 8 November 16th 2024
Cuenca – Macas
The third environment of Ecuador, the Amazon, is waiting for us. You will notice that not only the environment changes dramatically but the people will as well. The natives are shorter in stature. They have adapted their lifestyle to natural environment. The main highway the E45 of Ecuador will lead us to Macas. The word “highway,” can be misleading. We will be riding innumerable curves for your biking pleasure.
Day 9 November 17th 2024
Macas – Puerto Misahualli
Our ride today will lead us along banana- and cacao plantations. In this region, people live with the bare minimum that is necessary to survive. Luxury items are not part of their lifestyle. A cow, a pig, a roof over your head and cacao are all that are needed to keep the natives very happy and satisfied. Puerto Misahualli is alongside the river Napo. At the harbor, monkeys, the local wild life, will watch us boarding the boats. They are fun but be careful with your shiny things. Monkeys like to steel shiny things!!!
Day 10 November 18th 2024
Puerto Misahualli – Quito
We will ride many more curves ascending through the mountains to Quito. Sadly, this will be our last day of riding. We will return the motorcycles to our BMW partners in Quito.
Day 11 November 19th 2024
Departure from Mariscal Sucre International Airport Quito
At the end of a MAXimal Tours trip, we see the word “END” with sad eyes. As always, we at MAXimal tours hope that we have become friends during this journey and that we will meet outside of our tours as well. That’s the difference that you will find riding with MAXimal Tours.
The flights from Quito depart very late. Your hotel in Quito is booked until check out time. It may be helpful to add another day. We can help you with the reservation
…and finally we made the 16,000 feet climb to
