About our Bikes |

Some riders just
need more, this is why one of the most popular adventures we have is downhill biking.
As adventures get longer and trails more remote, many riders see increased
value in reliability and downhill control, this is why everyday our bikes are
being cleaned and maintained by our specialized professional biking team. The
bigger tires, plush suspension and powerful brakes of our mountain bike are an
insurance policy against accidents and mishaps and can be just plain fun to
ride. With geometry suited to steep terrain and small drop-offs our bikes
inspire confidence and reliability.
We offer different professional levels
of bikes and sizes. All the bikes are made
in aluminum frame and have front suspension with front travel with 80 or 100 millimeters. All
components are Shimano and all saddles and tires are meant for off road. All our bikes have double wall rims.
Apart of our
standard quality bikes we can provide as well semi – professional, double suspension,
lighter frames longer front travel, disk breaks and shifters of Shimano LX.
We have bikes in
different sizes from 15inch until 20inch.

This tour leaves from Quito early in the morning, taking the Pan American highway through the stunning “Avenida de los Volcanes‚” to Cotopaxi National Park. You will be accompanied by an English-speaking guide with extensive knowledge of the area’s history. With occasional stops to admire the amazing scenery, you will arrive at the Park at 4,550meters.

We then venture on the glacier itself and visit the stunning ice caves, not to be missed, and return to the refuge. After a safety briefing and short training session back at the car park, we complete the mad descent to Laguna Limpiopungo. The 800m ride can be as leisurely or adrenaline fuelled as you like, and depending on time, we can either bike further onwards or return directly to PapaGayo Hosteria.
