Ecuador Freedom Launches New Offroad Pacific Discovery Tour

A New Motorcycle and 4x4 Adventure to Immerse Visitors in Ecuador's Remote Forests and Sunny
Beaches.

Quito, Ecuador, May 08, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Adding to an already comprehensive portfolio of
award-winning routes and tours, Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental and Tours has crafted a brand-new
adventure tour by connecting some of the most astoundingly scenic dirt roads in the world. The new
7-day / 6-night off-road adventure tour is now available to motorcycle and 4x4 enthusiasts who want to
take the “slow route” from Quito to the white-sandy beaches of Ecuador's Pacific Coast, all while
enjoying activities and experiences along the way that they wouldn't be able to do - or find - on their own.

The new Offroad Pacific Discovery Tour provides six full riding days plus a day to relax on the beach
and explore the dirt roads and fishing villages on the coast. It begins in Ecuador's capital city, Quito - a
UNESCO world-heritage city of timeworn colonial buildings and cobbled plazas nestled at 9,500 feet
high in the Andes. From there it follows a mostly unpaved, 764-mile route that snakes its way through the
thick, misty Mashpi Cloudforest Reserve, gives a glimpse into the ruins of the lost Pre-Colombian
Yumbo people and their curious tunnels, mounds and pools, and provides miles of care-free riding on
sandy stretches of the Ecuadorian coastline. Along the way, participants will meet chocolate makers,
butterfly breeders, participate in an indigenous Shaman cleansing ritual, and discover the uses of the
Ceibo tree's unique, waterproof cotton.

“Over the past 9 years in business, we've put thousands of miles on the road each year, sourcing the best
for our travelers. We design 4x4 and motorcycling itineraries that go well beyond surface-level
experiences, for people who want to genuinely immerse themselves in the world around them,” explained
Court Rand, Owner and Lead Guide at the Quito-based tour operator. “They will see the must-sees, but
also the incredible natural landscapes, archaelogical ruins, wildlife, foods and cultures that evoke a sense
of awe. We connect our riders to local people and local cultures; we don't just stare at them from a
distance as we ride by. Our customers experience Ecuador on an intimate level through conversations
with locals and by experiencing what life is like in this land of diverse topography and peoples. We move
people away from the common and into the more remote and obscure areas of Ecuador, giving a glimpse
into ways of life that have largely disappeared.”

Riders (or drivers) on this new tour will have access to many of Ecuador's protected wildlife and natural
reserves in several different ecosystems. Among them, the Nono Biological Reserve is known as one of
the most biodiverse forests on the planet, the Galera-San Francisco Marine Reserve has roughly the same
biological diversity as the Galapagos Islands. and the Mashpi Cloudforest Reserve is now one of National
Geographic's top destinations for nature lovers.

Each night, non-touristy yet luxurious lodges and inns offer world-reknowned Ecuadorian hospitality in
every gesture. The Palma Azul Hotel & Spa is an artisan-designed boutique hotel whose restaurant offers
up its version of the traditional cazuela - a hearty peanut seafood stew made proudly in Manabi Province.
The Kashama Resort was built into a waterfall, deep in the rainforest, at the base of the towering Andes.

It provides its guests with the cleansing rituals of a shaman from the local Tsachilla tribe. The Mindo
Garden Lodge energizes its guests with its own ecological reserve, deep in the cloudforest and boasts 2.5
miles of roaring private riverfront. As with all of Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental Tours, single occupancy,
private accommodations are provided to each participant without an additional fee.
