The Mama Rumi trail in Ecuador was traditionally a bootleg alcohol smuggling route. It was rediscovered and turned into an amazing mountain bike downhill adventure. It is a long track with a mix of technical and fast terrain. Most of it is a singletrail full of bobsled sections, called "culuncos", that offer great natural berms and ruts. It also has lots of sharp rocks in every size, slimy roots, and natural jumps. With only a couple climbs, Mama Rumi offers a beautiful aventure that crosses forests and plantations in 12 kilometers that descend from 2,800 meters above sea level to only 800. Now there's some jumps at the end, next to the small town of Telimbela, and a little pumptrack.

Some trees down on the upper section. It is important that this track is the old version of the trail, the upper part until the big fire road is...

The upper section might have some rain but the last section, after the open road, is bone dry and loose.
