Ecuador is one of the countries that has countless walking routes, regardless of the level or duration of the hiking or trekking itinerary you are looking for, you will always find the best route that suits you.

In the Galapagos Islands, the coast of Ecuador, lagoons and rivers you can find waters conducive to kayaking. You just have to choose between routes around the coast, offshore, rivers or calm lagoons.

En las Islas Galápagos, costa del ecuador, lagunas y ríos podras encontar aguas propicias para el kayakismo. Solo debes escoger entre rutas alrededor de la costa, mar adentro, ríos o mansas lagunas.

Andean Ecuador has a lot to offer to lovers of mountaineering and climbing. With elevations up to 6,300 meters, in Chimborazo, the snowy and rugged Ecuadorian peaks are waiting to be conquered by tourists from all over the world.

El Ecuador andino tiene mucho que ofrecer a los amantes del montañismo y escalada. Con elevaciones hasta los 6300 metros, en el Chimborazo, las cumbres nevadas y escarpadas ecuatorianas esperan a ser conquistadas por turistas de todo el mundo.

The slopes created by the glacial melting and its location in the Amazon basin make the rivers of Ecuador the most suitable for rafting. There are precisely several points where the slope generated by the mountains joins with the flow of the Amazonian rivers, creating great routes for this sport.

Las vertientes creadas por el deshielo glaciar y su ubicación en la cuenca amazónica hacen de los ríos de Ecuador los más idóneos para la practica del rafting. Precisamente hay varios puntos en donde la pendiente generado por las montañas se unen con el caudal de los ríos amazónicos, creando rutas grandiosas para este deporte.

Road cycling is the most widespread form of cycling. It includes recreational, racing, and utility cycling. Road cyclists are generally expected to obey the same rules and laws as other vehicle drivers or riders and may also be vehicular cyclists.

Dedicated road bicycles have drop handlebars and multiple gears, although there are single and fixed gear varieties. Road bikes also use narrow, high-pressure tires to decrease rolling resistance, and tend to be somewhat lighter than other types of bicycle. The drop handlebars are often positioned lower than the saddle in order to put the rider in a more aerodynamic position. In an effort to become more aerodynamic, some riders have begun using aerobars. Who and when aerobars where invented is unclear but they seem to date back to the early 1980s. The light weight and aerodynamics of a road bike allows this type of bicycle to be the second most efficient self-powered means of transportation, behind only recumbent bicycles due to the latter’s higher aerodynamic efficiency.

In a single trip you can observe unique birds, mammals and reptiles, as well as the great humpback whales of the Pacific Ocean. Also in our country there are a large number of plants of great photographic and scientific interest such as orchids, bromeliads, heliconias, ferns and more. The diversity of ecosystems that exist in Ecuador, make it a suitable place for the observation of an immense number of species. Maybe you can even discover one and put your name on it.
