HIGHLAND ENDURO EPIC

Mountain Bike Guatemala is the best company in Antigua. They tours, guides and bikes are terrific. The business offers tours and routes that no body else knows about, plus the tour guide "Brendan" is really knowledgeable and will tell you all you have to know about Guatemala from his prospective.

Our tour with MTB Guatemala was easily the highlight of our trip to the country and made it one of our favorite trips to date. The riding was epic. Diverse terrain ranging from loamy forest singletrack, to technical and steep mountain ditches, to narrow ridges with panoramic canyon views,... read more to freeriding active volcanoes! Brendan and his team put together the trip of a lifetime. We were able to discover so much culture, history, and scenes we wouldn't have otherwise found if not for the well linked routes they put together. Lots of singletrack!! Brendan and Maria are incredibly skilled riders with backgrounds in racing all kinds of mountain biking disciplines (enduro, xc, etc.). They remained aware of our skill levels suggesting more or less difficult lines depending on the rider. They were also safety oriented and recognized fatigue, and the effects of the country's heat. We truly felt their passion and joy for riding and it always kept the mood fun, friendly, and encouraging. Brendan and his team were professional throughout; our customized trip was well detailed in the booking process and they were quick to answer our questions and were able to accommodate our requests for accommodation and transportation. Their equipment and vehicles were in excellent condition. We brought our own bikes, but noticed their rentals were also in excellent shape. They were always on time and ready, and flexible to change. Our non-riding highlights were the delicious food throughout, camping with panoramic views of active volcanoes, staying at their mountain cabin, riding to- and visiting Mayan ruins, and ending a big ride at the beach in a beautiful surfing villa! I highly recommend booking with MTB Guatemala. Their tours alone are definitely worth making a trip to the country.

MTB Guatemala is composed of an awesome team - Brendan, the Director, Eric, MTB Guatemala's awesome and safe driver, and Alfredo, the team guide. I contacted Brendan on Instagram and was very swift with his reply. Initially, I wasn't sure if the 2-day Tecpan - Pana trip was going... read more to happen because I was a solo rider, but I informed him about my travel dates and he coordinated to find other riders for the trip and it worked out perfectly. He provided great equipment in the package and took care of all the logistics. He also has E-bikes! The meals included were traditional Guatemalan cuisine and Brendan selected great rest stops to enjoy our meals. Overall, the trip was solid and full of adventure with endless views. Brendan is very knowledgeable in not only Guatemala's best backcountry riding routes, but also in the Mayan history pertaining to the country. He emphasized on sharing about the history and the culture throughout the many stops we made on the riding route. Although I was traveling with my family, only I decided to book a tour. I recommend this MTB crew to any Women on the fence about booking an MTB Adventure in Guate! These guys work as a team and in communication at all times, as safety was never a doubt. MTB Guatemala Also has a cabin base in Tecpan, near where we initiated our ride. There is also a wine bar currently in the works near his Tecpan base cabin, that's owned by his friend, a sweet Dutch Guatemalan lady that's worth checking out if you stay at cabin. Key thing to know, the ride is rain or shine, so make sure you pack a nice rain jacket. It did rain on us towards the end of our trip, but Riding In the rain was fun. I would definitely book again!

the experience was amazing, MTB has a very professional team !!! the views are very beautiful and the climate of the mountains wonderful, you have to live the experience when you visit Guatemala. Brendan and Naftalí are very nice people. Damis

Just got back from a custom two day Highland tour with Brendan and crew... and was absolutely blown away! I was expecting the typical “here’s your bike, here’s this trail, here’s some lunch” kind of “tour” experience... but what I ended up getting was a whole other animal! Brendan knows... read more Guatemala like the back of his hand... and took us out on some gnarly trails in really remote areas that few people (let alone tourists) will ever get to see. It was the perfect blend of culture, history, incredible landscapes, adventure and adrenaline. This is my second time in Guatemala... and I firmly believe there is no better way to get off the tourist route and truly see Guatemala... than on two wheels! Highly Highly recommend!
