having shipped my bike (together with a car and another bike in one container) and having heard of several mates who flew their bikes, i can say with absolute certainty that i would fly next time. why? far less hassle and the same price or cheaper.
the various spivs/wideboys/'proceedures'/'taxes' etc etc make getting the bike on its way in colon/panama (horrible) and retrieving it in guyaquil (IMO the toilet of the universe; even more than horrible) not very nice experiences.
contact riccardo rocco via the ecuador hu community for the latest details on bringing bikes into ecuador.
good luck,
ChrisB
