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.
