A word from the Guide
By demand we have extended our popular 5 Day enduro tour for a full week of epic riding and sights. This route is as varied as Guatemala itself with sandy volcanic descents, rocky, high and dry pines and rich tropical forests.
Riding a bike in Guatemala gives you a unique perspective to connect Mayan sights while riding ancient Mayan infrastructure on trails and footpaths.
This gravity focused route connects the chain of Guatemalaās highest volcanoes crossing through several distinct regions before finishing with an epic freeride on the active Pacaya Volcano.

Welcome to Guatemala! We will meet you at the airport where our private transportation will take you to nearby Antigua, about an hours drive. We’ll check you into your hotel and meet you for a group dinner where we will meet and discuss the rest of the week.

Throughout its 500 year history the city has been wrecked several times by earthquakes, and is an open-air museum of Spanish colonial architecture, cathedrals, parks and ruins. The city is a major tourism destination and is home to the best restaurants and luxury hotels in the country.
