Join me to cycle through unique trails in the Middle of the World. We will begin our adventure in Quito towards the community of "Guachala" where the equinoctial line crosses. You can check several times with your GPS that you are at latitude 0'0 "0". We will also visit pre-Columbian archaeological sites that were used by our ancestors as astronomical observatories wich offer us incredible views of the Cayambe volcano.
We will visit all these beautiful places by bicycle along a route of approximately 25km full of history and adventure. After the biking we are going to visit one of the bigest craftmarkets in south Amrerica, "La Plaza de los Ponchos" where you can find a lot of handycrafts made in Ecuador.

A great day of biking and shopping

5.00We had a great day with our guide Mauro. The biking was very nice and he did a great job adjusting the ride to our abilities -- we rode for over 2 hours. It was interesting riding alongside the huge greenhouses for roses and the other scenery of his selected route is very pretty. We enjoyed our shopping at the Otavalo market and were glad we had done something other than just driving there and back. Mauro was also a good and safe driver
More Than a Bike Tour

5.00Mauro was an outstanding guide. He clearly knows Ecuadorian history and culture and shared it in ways that felt relevant to where we were riding and visiting. His explanations of indigenous traditions, regional history, and daily life added meaning to each stop and to the bike ride itself. He welcomed questions and adjusted the pace to my ability. This was of my favorite parts of visiting Quito!

5.00An exceptional experience from start to finish. The activity is absolutely outstanding, with breathtaking landscapes throughout the ride. The bikes are high quality and very well maintained, and the tour adapts perfectly to your physical level, making it enjoyable whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. The food was excellent, and the stops at local markets were a real highlight. Everything was well organized and authentic. I 100% recommend this experience without hesitation.

5.00The experience was wonderful and Mauro made it so. The biking was fun and interesting (loved seeing the Rose farms and harvesting), lunch delicious, and the market was packed with people and goods, even later in the day. Mauro's knowledge, genuine interest in people, and sharing with others was key to the experience. We even talked about coming back and doing a multi-day ride experience with him!
Amazing bike trip, Mauro is a beacon of knowledge.

5.00Mauro has put together an amazing route that is challenging but manageable for anyone with moderate bicycling skills. The diversify of beautiful views ranging from canyons to snow capped mountains were unbelievable. As a bonus, Mauro peppered the trip with interesting stops that highlighted Ecuadorean history and plants. Do this trip, you won’t regret it!
Fantastic, unique experience to see the Middle of the World!

5.00This was such a cool experience!! Mauro made it extra special. We ended up running into some traffic challenges on the way and had to take a big detour. Mauro made it so fun and interested and stopped at a few places so I could try some unique snacks. He was easy to talk to and knew SO much about the history, I would have literally paid just for him to drive me around and tell me things. Lol. Plus, I am not a mountain biker — but he made it approachable and tailored it to my skills and what I was comfortable with. It was the best day.
One of the best experiences in Ecuador

5.00We had an amazing day. This is a truly unique experience and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Mauro is a fantastic guide with so much knowledge about Ecuador and he shares the information at a very good pace. The bike trip is incredible. Beautiful route, doable but challenging enough to feel like you have earned the delicious lunch. And you get to ride on the real ecuator with no other tourists around :)

You feel immersed in the country and its culture. When I go back again to Ecuador, he is the person to tour the country with. 5 Stars!
