Attend a local mountain bike Travesía

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.

High, alpine and unworldly

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.
