Beautiful Bike Ride

4.00First, the good: The bikes were nice, worked well. Scenery was beautiful. The first half of the trip was downhill. Adrian picked us up on time from our hotel. We stopped at a cute little shop about halfway and had sugarcane juice, very delicious. Also, Adrian had an e-bike that saved my life for the difficult part. Some things you should know: There are some very difficult uphill portions, one on a highway with traffic. I would only recommend this to athletic people. Also, we did not visit Cajas national park on this ride. It was not part of the tour even though it was in the description. At times, dogs chased us down on the bikes. Some were cute and some were mean. Overall, four hours is a very long time to ride a bike. I would recommend making this tour shorter and ending before the uphills. Thank you for everything!

Seeing the different layers of Ecuador from a bike

5.00It was a great way to see the countryside! And the views were amazing! Adrian was friendly and informative about the area, and a great bike mechanic. We were not expecting mountain bikes with electronic assist, but it sure was appreciated since we were not yet acclimated to the altitude. Next time we hope to spend more time in Cajas National Park, but some roads there were blocked by mudslides so we went to a different valley.
Best Ride of My life, Absolutely Incredible!

5.00Even though we got off to a bit of a late start, we rode up to the Mirador west of Cuenca in their vehicle with the bikes, which only took about an hour. Starting at an elevation of around 14,600 ft, we descended on the main road for several miles before turning off to a side road, and eventually a gravel road. Riding through the cloud forest was a truly unforgettable experience. We ended the ride about 4 to 5 hours later at an elevation of 2,100 ft. Adrian and Jose were great, and even fixed a flat I had. Can't say enough good about the experience. One note though if you are considering doing this, I would only recommend it for somewhat experienced cyclists.
Great adventure on the downhill tour

5.00I had a really nice time dropping over 10,000 feet into the coastal cloud forest with Adrian and his crew. I was the solo member of the tour and felt a little spoiled by the care provided to me. It was a great mix of adrenaline, nature, and culture in some off the main road areas. If you like downhill biking, or mountain biking, this would work for you, but if you are an intermediate casual biker, this would also work for you too. I think Adrian is very accomodating. He let me go ahead and rip it up a bit, but he was very willing to go slower if needed.
