AVERTISSEMENT : Il ne s'agit pas d'une ballade normale en moto. Ce circuit requiert des éléments d'endurance et de résistance. Les participants doivent être capables de rouler dans des conditions météorologiques et routières défavorables et pendant de longues périodes (jusqu'à 10 heures).
Pour les plus intrépides et les plus audacieux d'entre nous, nous avons conçu un circuit qui s'adresse à ceux qui aiment profondément le tout-terrain. Cette aventure en moto autoguidée a été conçue pour éviter les itinéraires typiques, en optant plutôt pour les sentiers hors route les plus époustouflants de l'Équateur. Nous vous emmènerons bien au-delà des frontières de Quito, et vous ferons découvrir des parties de l'Équateur qui sont cachées.
Notre itinéraire en double-sport nous emmène à travers une terre que le temps a oubliée. C'est un endroit où l'on pratique encore d'anciennes techniques agricoles et où les habitants sont souvent surpris de voir des étrangers traverser leur village. Au cours de notre voyage, nous nous arrêterons pour rencontrer certains de ces gens fascinants qui sont impatients de nous montrer leur façon de cuisiner, de cultiver et de vivre. Nous traverserons de magnifiques cols de montagne, nous contournerons des lacs de cratère à couper le souffle et nous traverserons des terrains variés qui s'étendent sur plusieurs zones climatiques.
Le circuit hors route en Équateur est une occasion incroyable d'observer la faune et la flore indigènes, et de développer une compréhension intime de l'incroyable biodiversité qui existe en Équateur.

Elevation Profile - Day 1
Vous commencerez votre "Offroad Ecuador Tour" de quatre jours depuis notre centre situé à Quito, en Équateur, à 2850 mètres d'altitude dans la Cordillère des Andes, sur l'Équateur, en Amérique du Sud. En 1978, Quito est devenu le premier endroit de la planète à être désigné comme site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO pour avoir le centre historique le mieux préservé de toute l'Amérique latine. Quito est située sur le plateau de l'Altiplano (la capitale la plus élevée au monde) dans les Andes, à 9 350 pieds d'altitude.
Nous vous suggérons d'arriver un jour ou deux plus tôt pour découvrir notre magnifique capitale tout en vous acclimatant à l'altitude élevée avant de commencer le circuit. Comme la première journée est longue, nous vous recommandons de récupérer vos motos la veille du circuit afin de pouvoir partir tôt de Quito le premier jour.
Vous serez équipé de la moto tout-terrain de votre choix et recevrez une présentation détaillée qui répondra à toutes vos questions concernant les coutumes locales, les règles de la route, les signaux de conduite, etc. Nous vous montrerons comment utiliser votre GPS et vous fournirons des feuilles de route quotidiennes détaillées qui vous indiqueront les points d'intérêt authentiques, les profils d'élévation et les heures de départ. Nous vous donnerons un briefing complet pour vous familiariser avec votre mission.
Vous quitterez Quito, en évitant les banlieues, et commencerez immédiatement à naviguer sur une route de terre qui vous mènera d'abord à un col froid, puis à travers des terres agricoles fertiles, avant d'entamer une descente sinueuse vers les basses terres de la province de Santo Domingo. En descendant les pentes occidentales, vous passerez devant plusieurs chutes d'eau spectaculaires tout en traversant de petits villages comme Chiriboga et d'autres établissements dans la forêt nuageuse sur les pentes occidentales de l'Équateur.
Une fois descendu à environ 3 000 pieds d'altitude, vous vous retrouverez dans un air chaud et humide, ce qui représente un changement de climat par rapport à l'endroit où vous avez commencé il y a peu à Quito. Vous aurez l'occasion de vous arrêter pour vous baigner dans des bassins naturels formés par des chutes d'eau. De retour sur la moto, vous vous sentirez rafraîchi et régénéré par les eaux de la montagne.
Vous entamez une montée qui durera jusqu'à la fin de la journée. Vous vous attaquerez à des lacets abrupts qui vous permettront d'admirer la vallée en contrebas. Vous traverserez ensuite des jungles denses et des pâturages verdoyants avant d'arriver dans la petite ville de San Francisco de las Pampas pour prendre un excellent déjeuner de cuisine locale simple mais délicieuse et pour discuter avec les habitants de la ville.
Continuez sur des chemins de terre (parfois difficiles), en montant à plus de 11 400 pieds, en passant par des terres agricoles pittoresques, la forêt nuageuse et des landes élevées avant d'arriver à Sigchos, une ville établie dans les années 1500 par les Espagnols de l'époque coloniale.
À Sigchos, vous êtes officiellement sur la fameuse "boucle de Quilotoa" et vous passerez devant des paysages et des terres agricoles étonnants avant d'arriver chez Mama Hilda's à Chugchilan. Vous y trouverez une chambre privée et confortable avec un poêle à bois, ainsi qu'un dîner familial composé de nombreuses casseroles de nourriture équatorienne copieuse et rustique qui vous ravigotera après une journée entière de randonnée. Vous vous endormirez certainement dès que votre tête touchera l'oreiller.

What to Expect
This self-guided adventure will start in our offices located in Quito's Carolina neighborhood, the safest and most convenient part of Quito. Prior to your departure (on the day prior or the morning of departure), we will provide you with a detailed and thoughtful presentation on Ecuadorian rules of the road, customs, and courtesies. We will instruct you on how to operate your pre-programmed GPS unit and given a packet that includes your prepaid hotel vouchers and daily map sheets with points of interest, descriptions of local highlights information, and "hidden gems" that aren't common knowledge. You can use this information to tailor your days - including as much or as little as you like. The route will be reviewed with you in detail to provide you with additional useful information about the timing, suggestions for lunch stops, and where to get gas along the way.
On the morning of your departure, you will be provided the offroad-capable motorcycle of your choice, which is fitted with a waterproof luggage system, a first aid kit, a tankbag if you want one, spare innertubes (or tire repair kit), and a set of tools. You will also have a prepaid cell phone to call us for support at any time during your trip. We will carefully review the bike using our multi-point checklist to ensure that everything is in perfect working order before your departure and that you know what to do in case of an emergency or breakdown.
After many years of research, testing, and developing it on our guided version of the trip, we created this tour. The route is not highly technical and is composed primarily of unimproved dirt roads (natural dirt roads without gravel, etc.). We have marked several available stops within the GPS unit and the daily route sheets. You should be aware that there are two long riding days and that you will be traveling in areas where access to medical care may be several hours away.
You will have many opportunities for amazing photos and stops in remote villages where visitors are infrequent. Locals are friendly and the areas visited are very safe with very low crime rates.
During your ride, Ecuador Freedom staff will monitor your daily progress using an onboard GPS satellite tracking system and can assist you by telephone if you need to change your route, need roadside assistance, or help in any way.
Upon returning, you will have access to our honor bar, jacuzzi, hot shower, and staff that can assist you with your next destination.
Weather and Temperatures
Weather and temperature ranges in Ecuador are generally the same year-round. You can expect the chance of passing showers in the highlands but rarely a full day of rain. Chances for a full day of rain are more likely on the western slopes of the Andes in March, April, and early May. This ride will be in elevations of sea level where temperatures can be around 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 13,500 where temperatures are in the 30's Fahrenheit. Dressing in layers is recommended. Please see this article for more information about the weather in Ecuador.
Accommodations
Throughout the tour, you will stay in ideally-located, comfortable, and clean accommodations. See this page for details and links to the accommodations provided. Ecuador Freedom has the right to substitute accommodations of equal quality due to availability and will notify you of these changes.
Packing List and Preparation
Ecuador Freedom will provide you with detailed information to prepare for the ride, including a packing list. You should know how to make general motorcycle repairs and maintenance and to be able to change an innertube (click for a video tutorial). Before you travel, we recommend that you familiarize yourself in advance with these recommended guidebooks and maps.

Deposits are refundable minus 10% of the total rental or tour price only if canceled at least 90 days prior to departure or pick-up date.

Therefore, cancellations for any reason made less than 90 days before the pickup or departure date are not refundable nor may they be applied to a future rental or tour.
To protect yourself from this loss of your deposit, it is up to you to secure travel insurance that covers cancellations due to health problems, civil unrest, acts of God, family tragedies, any issues, cancellations or delays with flight departures, etc.
Medical and security emergencies happen; when they do, we rely on Global Rescue, the world’s leading membership organization providing integrated medical, security, travel risk, and crisis response services to travelers worldwide. Memberships start at $129

A 100% refundable security deposit using a credit card for the rental motorcycle or 4x4 is also required and is separate from the payment for the tour.
