If you are one of those people (like me) that defines “vacation” as “an opportunity to DO something insane or extraordinary” then you should check this out. Adventure Planet Ecuador offers a 16 day 15 night mountain bike adventure vacation in the Andes mountains.

An Ecuador mountain biking adventure without limits to the most spectacular sites of Ecuador. We travel by bicycle to the base of majestic Chimborazo, the “King of the Andes,” at 6310 m elevation(>20,000 ft); investigate the unique Andean landscape surrounding Cotopaxi, the highest and most beautiful active volcano in the world; descend through spectacular river canyons overlooking the western Amazon rainforest; relax in picturesque highland towns; enjoy white-sand beaches on the Ecuadorian “Sun Coast”; visit nature and archaeological reserves that are renowned for their beauty, biological diversity, and cultural value; visit an island where pirates hid their treasures during the period of the Spanish conquest.
