Guatemala: the Frontier of Mountain Biking

A mere 200 miles wide, Guatemala is home to incredible terrain, culture and biodiversity. Two oceans, 14,000ft volcanoes, and 21 Mayan languages make for a country that is far from ordinary.

Cycling culture is exploding here with numerous races and events each weekend. I believe that now is the best time to mountain bike in Guatemala.
