Backroads, the leader in active travel, today announced the debut of Unplugged Bike Tours for cyclists looking to explore the world on two wheels under their own power, with no electric-assist, in the company of other riders who enjoy doing the same. The rollout complements Backroads’ robust selection of bike and e-bike tours with the addition of 83 acoustic bike trips in some of the company’s most popular cycling destinations in the U.S., Italy, France, Spain, Canada and Japan.

Quito is the ideal destination for mountain bikers due to its wonderful landscapes, uneven terrains and perfect places to ascend and descend on all surface types. It also offers a wide range of nature tourism, whereby taking some small trails you can cross the moorland and shaded forests, while admiring the biodiversity of the area.

Sometimes the best routes are the ones less traveled. Safari company Natural Selection put this concept to the test recently when they decided to launch a guided cycling safari through Botswana’s most coveted wildlife area: the Okavango Delta
