Summary

Description: With our private transport we skirt the flanks of Volcano Cotacachi until we get to the village of Urcusiqui at an altitude of 3.400m (11.200ft.) From there we start our bike ride (3-4 hours), descending some 1.800m (5.900ft) in altitude, with short uphill sections mixed in. Along the way we are going to see a drastic change in climate and vegetation, from high altitude Andean landscapes, through cloud forests to the tropical Intag Valley. Once we arrive in the village of Nangulvi, we will have lunch and some free time to do a short hike or relax in the hot springs of Nangulvi. After dinner you will have the chance to enjoy the hot springs for a second time, and after a good night´s sleep and a great breakfast, we will return to Otavalo on the following day (2).
