QUITO, Ecuador - s4story -- Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental (www.freedombikerental.com), South America's most immersive adventure motorcycle tour service, is kicking off a brand new 6-day self-guided motorcycle tour today designed to explore some of the lesser-known regions of the country at a relaxing pace.

This new route is branded the "Northwest Ecuador Explorer" and offers six days and five nights of immersive exploration and packs an incredible amount of experiences into a single week while still leaving plenty of time for rest and relaxation.

Your days will be spent exploring ancient hand-laid cobblestone roads, touring 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.

It's the perfect solo getaway for one, but thanks to the relaxed pace and almost entirely paved nature of this new route, it's also the ideal vacation for couples to explore the country two-up. These regions of Ecuador are packed with majestic views and immersive experiences, but this unique route avoids the usual tourist favorites in favor of a truly unique understanding of the culture and geography found nowhere else.

The self-guided motorcycle tour is priced from $1,890 and includes your unlimited mileage motorcycle rental, waterproof luggage, GPS navigation systems with pre-loaded routes and waypoints, a pre-paid phone for 24-hour support, hotel stays, meals, and VIP access to the Freedom Rider's Lounge for a well-deserved dip in a hot tub after you've completed your journey. You'll also have the option to extend your trip to include bonus days at the Hacienda Primavera Lodge and Kashama Rainforest Lounge, as well as different experiences like multi-day cruises through the Galapagos Islands and even a shamanic cleansing ritual courtesy of the local Tsachila tribe.
