A Great Experience
I had an amazing time. Daniel was a great guide—super knowledgeable and adapted the rides to my preferences. Everything was well-tailored, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Activexpedition, and I would book with them in the future.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your great review!

Amazing Ecuador Mtb trip
A giant thank you to Christian and the team. This trip was beyond my expectation. The views, the rides the support, meals and haciendas were all outstanding and a surprise was every afternoon to have a cultural or sightseeing activity to round out the day. An amazing experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review!

Amazing week long journey through Ecuador descending from huge volcanoes and experiencing Ecuadorian culture & cuisine.
My son and I had an incredible time on this moutain biking adventure through Ecuador! It's extremly well thought out and our guide, Christian Valens was extremely knowledgeable about not only mountain biking in the region, but about Ecuadorian culture/cuisine, the South American eco-system and what makes Ecudor's different regions so unique. The week long journey takes you North for a couple days, exploring areas at lower elevation levels (after we acclimatized in Quito), then traveling South and descending from volcanos at higher elevations - Cotopaxi, Quilatoa and Chimborazo. Each day builds on the last with types of terrain, skillset and elevation - all with incredible scenery and breathtaking views. Christian and our drivers, Daniel and Jose, were extremely well coordinated and didn't miss a beat providing meals during the day, planned stops at cool spots to exeprience local food/snacks and accomodations were taken care of before hand making check-in smooth after a day of riding - the haciendas are super cool. Whatever level mountain biker you are, there is opportnity to learn and improve as well as conquer new types of terrain on this trip. A great mix of flowy trails, climbing, x-country/enduro and downhill riding made the terrain challenging and really enjoyable throughout the week. This is an awesome trip to experience many different parts of Ecuador, descend thousands of feet from some of the tallest mountains in the world - all with a world class crew. Thank you Christian, Daniel and Jose for making this such a memorable and amazing trip! See you soon, Matt

Exploring Ecuador Volcanoes by bike
We were very impressed by our Activexpedition tour, which included exploring the areas at the bases of iconic volcanoes such as Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. As cyclists with mostly road and cross-country experience, some of the downhill trails were a bit challenging, but it was a good mix of surfaces and our guide Oscar was very patient and supportive along the way. During the week-long tour, we enjoyed biking beneath the shadow of giant volcanoes (lucky enough to see the peaks!), through lush agricultural fields, past quaint villages and through cloud forests. Highlights were the animals along the way (mostly horses, sheep, cows, pigs, dogs and the occasional llama), fresh fruit at every meal, trails to ourselves (didn't encounter many other tourists), a fun variety of accomodations, and breathtaking views around every corner. Our guide Oscar and driver Jorge took very good care of us along the way and made sure that our experience was memorable and safe.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your review, we hope you to see you soon in another adventure with Activexpedition.

Exceeded All Expectations!
What a trip! I can hardly think of a better way to take in the amazing Cordillera of Ecuador. The trails were just right, not too easy, not too hard, fun, great exercise (hello high altitude!) and truly breathtaking. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was great and our guide, Oscar, was world-class. Probably didn't hurt that we scored perfect weather the whole week too;) Ecuador is a very special place and I so look forward to exploring it more in the future. And, when I do find myself in Ecuador again, without hesitation I will make travel plans with ActivExpedition. And, in all honesty, even though I prefer to seek out new and different experiences, I would consider doing a repeat of this biking adventure - It was that enjoyable! Thank you, Oscar and Christian, keep up the great work! I hope to be calling upon you again soon.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $2140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 192-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Biking Ecuador Volcanoes tour 8 Days start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
