From exploring freeride lines at 4700m to breathtaking landscapes on top of Cotopaxi Volcano: Nico Vink and William Robert embark into new terrains in Ecuador with their new movie CHAQUIÑAN.

This journey is taking them out of the contests and racing world, back to the roots of mountain biking: Simply for the love of riding and exploring new terrains. The perfect way to witness the thrill of surfing bikes and meeting new people.

They had to push themselves to the highest altitudes of a 4700m Volcano „GuaGua Pinchincha“ and battle incredible elements to the 5300m glacier of the iconic Cotopaxi Volcano. This video is a true adventure at the heart of Ecuador.
They pushed through any element and showed the best of Ecuador’s incredible bike sceneries & exceptional local culture.

The trip was supported by the local trail builder Manuel Combo from Cotopaxi Bike Park.
