Hi friends, I am currently in Huaraz, Peru and travel north. When in Ecuador, I want to visit the Galapagos and therefore need to store my bike somewhere. Does anyone know of a storage facility in Quito or Guayaquil, Ecuador? I would prefer Guayaquil, since I heard the flights to Galapagos are cheaper. —— There is a post about bike storage in Ecuador, but it is 5 years old
No answers so far. Any suggestions where I can cross post? IOverlander doesn’t have storage facilities either
The cheapest storing facility would be at Ipiales/Colombia. It's a little bit tricky, but we did it 2 month ago. The Bus ride back to Quito is 5USD and 5hours. But one month is 30.000 COP in a roofed shelter. Very safe and guarded by workers who live beside your bike... I got Hacienda between Quito and Colombian border, where it's possible to store the bike, even longterm. I think the price was around 3$ per day. Greetings Steve
We are also doing LONG term storage in Ipiales, Colombia by being "tricky" since TVIP's in Ecuador and Colombia are only good 90 days. The Hotel Avanty directed us to a nearby downtown Parking Garage where we stored for $11 USD per month. $3.00 per day is pretty steep. I stored at Willie's Moto's in Montevideo, Uruguay for $1.00 per day. Then at Moto's del Peru in Lima for about $2.00 per day.
I would schedule an oil change at a Motorcycle Shop and ask if they will keep moto for the time you are away. I'm sure Freedom Rentals in Quito can help or might have suggestion for Guayaquil.
