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.

UNESCO world heritage site, Antigua is the former Spanish colonial capital of Central America. Throughout its 500 year history the city has been wrecked several times by earthquakes, and is an open-air museum of Spanish colonial architecture, cathedrals, parks and ruins. The city is a major tourism destination and is home to the best restaurants and luxury hotels in the country.

Natural hot springs on the flanks of the Zunil Volcano in Quetzaltenango framed by a steep, high wall of tropical vines, ferns and flowers. The setting is intensely tropical, an elevation (2550m) and keeps the air cool.
(Half Day Riding) Boat to Panajachel in the morning ā shuttle up to 3200m mountain-top forest passing a 19th century sawmill finish with a 600 year technical trail and descent to TecpĆ”n.

A truly amazing way to see Guatemala. The guides, gear, and itinerary are top notch. I was on a nicer bike than the one I own at home! I would recommend this to any group at any skill level. Rides can be customized to the groupās skill level to ensure... read more everyone has a comfortable adventure. We were stoked on the chill trails that showed off epic views and ended the day with an awesome rowdy trail to give us a taste of the gnarly downhills that Guatemala offers. Weāre already convincing our friends to plan a trip so we can hangout with the MTB Guatemala crew again. Truly impressed by this company and all theyāve built here. Woooot!

Highly recommend Brendan and his team. Organized, attentive, adventurous, customer focused. The time, effort, and labor of love he's put into creating this experience for others is amazing!
Our beginner, shuttle supported cross country tour. Follow smooth, mostly flat agricultural singletrack through working farms of corn and vegetables. Enjoy a fast descent down to Antigua on a thousand year old trail.
A true backcountry loop – if you enjoy hiking with your bike, long, raw bushwack descents and a full day in the mountains where very few go -untouched cloud forest and incredible views await.
