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 Guatemala’s 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.
UNESCO world heritage site, Antigua is the former Spanish colonial capital of Central America. 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.
Connect the best shuttle-assisted descents on steep terrain below the massive volcanoes of Antigua.
