About Us
Ruta Cero is an organization that seeks to promote, in a safe way, the natural resources and landscapes that the country offers. Adventuring through trails and paths while practicing outdoor activities is our way to encourage people to get close to nature, learn to value it, and help with its conservation.
We guarantee our field experience since our team has been executing this type of activities for more than five years and it has participated in investigation and production of several guides of mountain biking, climbing, trekking and media montaña in Ecuador.
OUR ACTIVITIES
The geographical and cultural variety of our small Ecuador turns it into a paradise with infinite options to explore. Its diversity of ecosystems and sceneries adorned with an exuberant flora and fauna makes this country an ideal place to practice ecotourism and adventure sports.
Ruta Cero is specialized in developing activities related to mountain biking, trekking, media montaña and climbing; focusing always in generating environmental conscience.
WITHOUT LETTING TRACE
We are conscious that these sports are being practiced in natural fragile areas that could be affected by our presence if we do not respect and take care of its wealth. For these reason, Ruta Cero tries to develop its activities in harmony with the environment, causing insignificant impacts.
