 2.2007-canon-028

Ecuador offers a great diversity of routes for the mountain bike enthusiast. The geographic diversity that this country offers turns it an ideal destiny for the adventurer. The Nono – Mindo trail is very popular for both the bird lovers and the adventurous types since it combines both of these in one program.  We`ll descend from a wonderful cloud forest and visit the Sierra and an enormous canyon, Tandayapa, and see the beautiful Pichincha.

 

The tour itself starts in the Reserve Yanacocha with a 10 km descent until we arrive at Nono, where we will challenge your suspension as we encounter a cobblestone road.  After that, enjoy 25km of downhill biking to give you enough strength for the next ascent at Bellavista. At some moments it seems to be a never-ending road, but you won’t have to worry since we’ll have a vehicle behind you just in case you get a bit tired!

 

After working hard to reach the final slope you’ll have the last descent arriving at the Calacali Road – La Independencia were we will go for 1.5km until we reach Mindo.  Here, we will go down 6km more and finally we’ll arrive to Mindo.
