Mountain Biking The route of the Kaqchikel Maya

Tecpán – Pana Multi-Day Mountain Bike tour with MTB Guatemala

Few routes connect to Lake Atitlán from neighboring mountains of Tecpán. Over the years we have scouted and explored various trails and connections –none of them are easy. The riding this part of Guatemala is raw. Trails here are ancient and worn and the topography is extreme. No matter what variation of the Tecpán-Pana you take to Panajachel it makes for epic, full-day adventure on the bike.

The goal was simple: take mountain bike tourism where it had never been before in the heart of the territory of the Kaqchikel Maya. We would follow ancient trials – sticking to singletrack as much as possible en route to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world: Lake Atitlán.
