A word from the Guide

By demand we have extended our popular 5 Day enduro tour for a full week of epic riding and sights. This route is as varied as Guatemala itself with sandy volcanic descents, rocky, high and dry pines and rich tropical forests.

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 Guatemalaā€™s highest volcanoes crossing through several distinct regions before finishing with an epic freeride on the active Pacaya Volcano.
