Ecuador Motorcycle Adventure News.

September 2022

Hi friends,

As the summer in the Northern Hemisphere is drawing to an end, this is the perfect time to start planning your adventures on and near the equator.

We’re excited to share there’s something new on the menu at Ecuador Freedom: we recently launched a brand-new Northwest Ecuador Explorer tour! This six-day paved self-guided tour is designed to showcase Ecuador off the beaten path allowing you to explore on your own or with friends, all while having the security and comfort of a pre-planned itinerary and great stays.


The Northwest Ecuador Explorer self-guided motorcycle adventure is all about ancient hand-laid cobblestone roads, working coffee plantations, swimming under waterfalls, and enjoying twisty pavement as you wind your way through an all-paved route on Ecuador’s legendary backroads. The northwest region of Ecuador is the part of the country where the roads are curvier, the beaches emptier, and the food is tastier. You’ll see snow-topped volcanoes, pristine blue lakes, sweeping emerald green forests, and get up-close looks at local artisans and leatherworkers in small towns and villages.



After full days in the saddle, you’ll have access to spring-fed pools, Instagram-worthy infinity Jacuzzis, and relaxing walks along empty beaches. Nights will be spent dining on authentic Ecuadorian cuisine, dancing to local music, and catching up on some much-needed sleep in historic haciendas, private beach cabins, and rainforest spas.
Sound like your thing? Check it out and book your very own Northwest Ecuador experience now!



Speaking of exploring Ecuador: every so often, we get questions about navigation from our riders. Our solution? Garmin GPS instead of phone mounts. The reason why we prefer GPS rather than phones is that the units are sturdy and easy to use, and you don’t need to worry about damaging your phone’s camera as you ride. For all our self-guided tours, we offer pre-programmed GPS units that will guide you along flawlessly and provide an added layer of security as they do not rely on phone service. We love to keep our riders happy and safe and make sure they always find their way easily – and that’s why GPS is the way to go here at Ecuador Freedom.

We hope to see you in Ecuador soon!

Explore South America by bike without quitting your day job

Unfortunately, most of us aren’t Obi-Wan Kenobi, and we can’t persuade Apple TV to fund a jaunt across the Americas for months on end. However, there is a way to experience the sheer variety of roads, landscapes, and thrills the continent has to offer without having to quit your job (or get one in the Star Wars franchise).

Why We Don't Mount Cellphones to Handlebars

It’s no secret that we’re big advocates of dedicated GPS satellite navigation units for motorcycle travel, and you’ll find them on every fly and ride adventure we host here at Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental. Stand-alone GPS units offer a host of advantages over cell phones when it comes to navigation (they work from anywhere on the globe, are much more well-suited to off-road travel, and include life-saving emergency features, to name a few), but there are other reasons you shouldn’t be relying on your cell phone to get around. Below we’ll outline a few of the main reasons we believe self-guided GPS motorcycle tours should use an actual GPS, as well as some of the risks you run when you try to get by using your smartphone.
