Biking in Ecuador around Chimborazo the highest Volcano in the World

The ecuadorian highlands “The Andes”  are an excellent destination for biking. This time we are goingto to talked about biking around Riobamba. Riobamba is a nice small city, high in altitude and very close to the Chimborazo, a the highest volcano in the world, actually it is the highest point on Earth measured fron the cetner of the planet, read more about it. You can make a variety of cycling tours around the beautiful Chimborazo Province, there are several operators that offer routes for each ability level. Get your adrenaline pumping on the spectacular downhill ride from Chimborazo volcano, enjoy the awesome sceneries of the Hidden Valleys, or go for the fantastic bike ride from the Andes to the Amazon, there are so many trips your will enjoy all of them, you need time and of course money.

Make you check all the details of the tour, the experience of the tour guide, and the awareness of the operator in terms of conservation. There are some guides and operators, like any other place that want to take you anywhere for the money without consideration of the impact the bikes place on the environment. We advocate “Little Impact Adventure” LIA, the idea is to enjoy your trip, explore new places, stay on trails, avoid trails that are closed for healing, bring back all garabage, recycle everything that is recyclable, avoid creating new unnecessary trails.

Ecuador is a small but beautiful country, there are so many micro climates there fore a great number of ecosystems, but for this reason it is fragil, we as tourists, adventure tourists, need to have this on mind at the moment of choosing tour operators.

Have a great trip in Chimborazo
