Ecuador Multisport Tour Rating

The Duvine Adventures Ecuador and Galapagos multisport trip is rated moderate.  The biking portion consists of some rolling hills in the Andean highlands with gorgeous vistas on quiet roads through quaint villages and farmland.  We will also mountain bike through the coffee plantations and along the beautiful coast of San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos, giving us up close access to all kinds of wildlife.  The hiking portion of the trip consists of coastal walks as well as more strenuous climbing on dirt trails up to the rim of the Sierra Negra volcano. While in the islands we will also do some sea kayaking in the bays and inlets of San Cristobal and snorkeling is another option.  Daily itineraries are intended to allow you to explore these areas at your own pace, building a good appetite without ever being exhausting.  There are some plane, van and boat transfers that will allow you to see the distant corners of Ecuador.  Of course, your two knowledgeable DuVine guides will be there to assist you at all times.
