Effort: Moderate Duration: 3h
Highlights: Experience the Isabela´s amazing highlands by riding through an authentic path created
by our adventurous guides.
We depart from our bike shop in Puerto Villamil to the highlands where the farmlands are. Once in the mountains, we´ll ride our bike through tropical fruit crops like bananas, mango, passion fruit, and citrus fruits. In the way, to Puerto Villamil, there are the volcanic formation and one of them is La Cueva de Sucre, this a natural volcanic cave that we´ll visit, this is a 60mts deep lava tunnel in the middle of a beautiful native forest. After this interesting visit to the bowels of the earth, we´ll go downhill following the nice farm roads, our next stop is in one of the farms that we have in the highlands of Isabela, here we´ll walk around the property and a farm worker will explain us about the local production. This farm is located in the area where the tortoises of this side of the island live. At the end of our walk, we can enjoy a cup of local organic coffee. Finally, we´ll ride a little-paved road ride to El Mango lookout where our adventure will finish.
