Mountain bike Guatemala is the product of years of exploration, racing and riding in Guatemala.
We run the best enduro mountain bike tours in Guatemala with personalized itineraries and multi-day epics throughout the country.
Backed by popular demand we are returning to Todos Santos “the Alps of Guatemala” for an exclusive multi day enduro tour. This 5 day mountain bike itinerary begins in Antigua and goes all the way to the top of the Cuchumatanes at 12,000ft. If you are looking for a massive shuttle assisted tour of Guatemala this is it! High altitude riding, incredible scenery and some of the longest technical singletrack descents await at the frontier…
This multi-day epic has a few elements that make it very special. On day three we will attend the famous Travesía de los Cuchumatanes – a massive local mountain bike group ride that drew 500 riders in 2018. Our tour culminates on day 4 with a legendary descent and visit to Todos Santos –-an area rich with Mayan culture.
For those unfamiliar the north of Guatemala is absolutely stunning with a unique dry climate with rolling hills along a unique alpine plateau with agave plants and limestone cliffs. Locals here heard sheep and brave sub-freezing temperatures at night. The riding here is unworldly -unlike anything in North America. Trails are ancient, steep and rocky – following livestock paths and old trading routes.

True to its name, “La Antigua” is a UNESCO world heritage site with loads of history to explore.
Today we will become more acquainted with the valley – by shredding a couple of the epic downhills above town! We will shuttle up to the flanks of the Acatenango Volcano to 2500m for our first descent. Which will take us down through avocado and coffee plantations along steep and eroded agricultural trails. Shuttle number two will set us up for a screaming descent down rough, tunnels and an urban descent into Antigua.

Reaching “el porton del cielo” we will get our first look at the Valley Todos Santos with steep limestone cliffs and a patchwork of villages below. We will climb to a highpoint of over 3500m (11,500ft) before beginning our epic and rocky descent.

Tour Reviews
Great rides, we did the tour with a group of 6 friends and enjoyed it all around. Exclusive trails at Xela, Cuchumatanes and Todos los Santos. We are from Guatemala and would not have been able to ride this trails without MTB Guatemala, very technical + hard, but completely worth it.
