ITINERARY
Elevation Profile - Day 1
You'll begin this 6-day "Dirt Deluxe" guided tour from our shop in Quito, Ecuador. In 1978, Quito became the first place on the planet to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having the best-preserved historic center in all of Latin America. Quito is high on the Altiplano Plateau (the highest capital city in the world) in the Andes at 9,350 feet. We suggest that you arrive a day or two early to experience our magnificent capital city while getting acclimated to the high elevation before beginning the tour.
During the first morning of the tour, you’ll be outfitted with the motorcycle of your choice and given a thorough orientation answering all questions concerning local customs, rules of the road, riding signals, Ecuadorian driver courtesies, and more.
Once over the pass, your surroundings will go from "urban" to "country" instantly. The sounds of rolling brooks, mooing cows, and chirping birds replace the city's sounds, and green pastures now surround you. You will descend into the small village of Nono.- a quaint, friendly little place that feels a world away from Quito. The road is now an unimproved, hard-packed dirt road that will take you deep into the Nono Biological Reserve - one of the most biologically diverse places on the entire planet.
We may stop for a swim in the beautiful Guagrapamba Waterfall, which is just along the route and can be reached after a short hike.
The ride will continue along these country roads with virtually no traffic, bring you high into the elevations and bring us to the "Virgen de Camino Mirador" overlook. We will stop here and get some great views of the valleys below. Then we descend along a rolling river of cold, clear water and into the rainforests for a completely new biological habitat. You may catch a glimpse of some wild toucans or brightly colored frogs.
Back on the road, the aromas and sounds of the cloud forest you will experience will be something that stays with you long after this ride is over.
We will stop for lunch in the Bellavista Cloudforest Bird Lodge. This lodge has a beautiful restaurant and a pleased staff to share its knowledge of this reserve's wildlife.
We descend onto the Western Slopes of the Andes and through the hamlet of Santa Rosa - a farming community from Bellavista. You'll enjoy the scents of the wild orchids and other flowers that line the road here.
Then we rejoin the paved road and turn onto the road that takes you to even lower elevations and into the warm microclimate of the town of Mindo. This funky, eclectic town offers excellent restaurants, bars, and activities such as zip-wire canopy tours and innertube rides down the white water river. Other attractions include a butterfly sanctuary, a tarabita (hand-powered cable car over a waterfall), and an orchid garden.
We visit Yumbos Chocolatefor a tour that will educate and entertain you. Yumbos is an organic chocolate factory, and they provide tours to learn about how cacao is grown, harvested, fermented, and turned into chocolate. The tour (included) includes a chocolate bar and a tasting of different chocolates. Please ask your tour guide for more information if you want to learn more about coffee growing, harvesting, processing, roasting, and proper coffee preparation.
Then we'll ride deeper into the cloudforest and check into a private cabin at the Terrazas de Dana Boutique Lodge.
Elevation Profile - Day 2
Day 2
Mindo - Rio Intag Coffee Region - Lake Cuicocha - Otavalo
Distance Covered : 188 km / 117 miles
After a hearty breakfast of fresh, exotic fruit juices, home-baked bread, pancakes, and eggs, we head out of the cloud forest reserve and take a dirt road leading north. We pass the region's rolling bright green hills, tomato, avocado, and fruit orchards. We'll go for a short 5-minute hike into the rainforest and a refreshing swim in the Cascada de la Piragua - a swimming hole popular with the locals.
We pass through the town of Nanegal with its friendly residents and manicured town square, heading down in elevation and further into the lower hills using unpaved farm roads. The weather is warm, and you'll cross other rivers with children playing in waterfalls along the way. We enter the Rio Intag valley - known for the premium coffee grown in this region. We will stop at the Nangulvi Hot Springs. The small complex offers several pools at varying temperatures and a fantastic fixed-lunch restaurant at the edge of the roaring Intag River.
The town of Apuela is home to the Rio Intag Coffee Growers' Association, and we will have a quick tour of their coffee drying, sorting, processing, and roasting operations here. You'll want to take a few bags of coffee home with you. From Apuela, the cobblestone road climbs in elevation, then descends, then rise again, achieving great views of 100+ foot cascading waterfalls and fragrances of pine, eucalyptus, and something that smells like an artificial "rainforest fresh" air freshener - only this is the real thing and so so much better! You will arrive at the Cotacachi-Cayapas National Forest and the Cuicocha (guinea pig) lake - a crater lake thought by the indigenous people to be a tunnel to the Pacific Ocean.
Dirt and ancient cobblestone roads take us peacefully into the city of Otavalo. Otavalo textiles are famous for their history and quality. The Otavaleños were skilled weavers even before the Incan rule. The Spanish set up workshops to employ the already skilled weavers, and soon, through technological advancements, the Otavalo weavers supplied textiles to most of Latin America. Today the area has several wool mills and looms and produces high-quality textiles. A visit to the Indigenous market at the "Plaza de Los Ponchos" in the center of Otavalo is a feast for your eyes and an opportunity to bring back some great gifts for your friends and family.
Tonight, we are in for a treat! We will stay in the renovated 17th-century comfortable and luxurious Hacienda Cusin. The prominent Luna family purchased Hacienda Cusin at an auction from Philip III, King of Spain, in 1602. The purchased estate, an abraje or sheep farm, comprises two valleys of Gualaví and La Rinconada. All the land between the valleys and the lake, approximately 100,000 acres/50,000 hectares, was held until Land Reforms in 1945 and 1964. Hacienda Cusin was named for the mountain at the head of the valley of La Rinconada. Today, it is owned by a wealthy American and her English husband, and they have put millions of dollars into its restoration.
The mountain’s name is uncertain, although three possibilities are likely. First, Cusin was the name of an indigenous chief who fought against the Incas in the early 16th century, just before the Spaniards’ arrival. Secondly, a type of white beetle, a cuzo, cut-zo, (Quechua), a delicacy that appears briefly in November. Cusin’s coat of arms, found on dishware and stationary, is a cuso’s carapace.
We'll enjoy a dinner featuring traditional, local culinary flavors with a glass of wine in their elegant dining room before you settle into your room appointed with high-quality textiles made in Otavalo.
