This extreme 72km adventure tour starts in the southern part of Quito, driven by one of our vehicles, a 4x4, with all bikes and equipment ready to start a short journey to the departure point. We will arrive at San Juan, a northern sector of Quito with an altitude of 3500m. We will begin with a briefing, a bike and gear check, then the adventure begins with spectacular 28km descent of downhill biking.
This magnificent old cobbled road was the gateway to the coastal lowlands but is now practically deserted. This road passes from paramo grass lands via cloud forest to sub-tropical rainforest.
After passing the small village of Chiriboga, we will begin 6 km of uphill biking. We’ll be able to notice how the weather starts to change and also how its vegetation and surroundings. We`ll continue with another short descent and than we`ll be challenged with the final 8km ascent up the hill.
