2 Day Lake Atitlán Cross Country Mountain Bike Tour

One day at Guatemala’s most beautiful lake is simply not enough! MTB Guatemala has put together this 2 day Lake Atitlán Cross Country mountain bike tour. This itinerary connects backroads, old jeep track and challenging singletrack - be prepared to be amazed by the views and local culture as well!

Lake Atitlán is one of the best places to mountain bike in Guatemala – its enormous topography, perfect climate (55-75°F year round) and friendly local culture make it a highlight for many travelers. Around the lake, there are hundreds of singletrack paths where we'll explore, connecting terraced onion fields, agricultural byways and ancient Mayan trading routes.

Highlights:

  • Ride some of the best singletrack routes in Guatemala
  • See one of the world's most beautiful lakes from the saddle of your bike.
  • Visit the towns of Panajachel, San Antonio and Santa Catarina Palopó
  • Visit local markets with vibrant Mayan culture
