CYCLING IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST
ITINERARY
Day 1
Your adventure will start in Cuenca. First, we will pick you up; you are just two hours and a half away from a peaceful Amazonian town called Limon Indanza. You'll head into town for a look around and a chance to grab any extra snacks and bits of equipment before starting the cycling. After fitting your bike and once you and your bike are a match, you will head out for a test ride and follow the gravel road for 10km of ascent and 3km of descent full of life in the middle of the jungle with unique landscapes.
Be ready for swimming, scrambling, and waterfall showers. You will find a series of waterfalls from 5 to 10 meters high, which form a beautiful landscape surrounded by vegetation, the sound of birds, a great diversity of insects, and the elegance of butterflies where we can feel the soft and fresh breeze. Next, you will have lunch and return to our meeting point by car.
In the evening, you will visit a special place to taste food from the Amazon prepared in gourmet style. Finally, in Limon, you will stay in a beautiful, comfortable place surrounded by nature and fantastic views.

Day 2
After breakfast, we will take our bikes and be ready for a 12km ascent and 10 km descent. Following, you will pass remote settlements, villages, and cabins. Afterward, you will stop in Indanza, a scenic spot for photography.
Next, you are going downhill, arriving at an impressive jungle spot where you will discover a great variety of mysterious petroglyphs. Most of these figures resemble humans, animals, and geometric forms. This visit will take us to an unknown world of primitive cultures that are more than 5,000 years old. Afterward, you will arrive at a wild camp for a refreshing bath in the river, where you'll have time to swim, celebrate with a beer with your teammates, and have lunch before returning to Cuenca.
