Day of the Dead Enduro – Nov 2025

Join us for a week of epic gravity assisted riding in Guatemala along with local celebration and culture! Our Day of the Dead Enduro mountain biking tour is our best gravity ride held once a year in the volcanic paradise of Guatemala.

November 1st in Guatemala is known as All Saints’ Day or Day of the Dead. The date is sacred to the Mayan people and in the weeks leading up to “Dia de Los Muertos” the country is alive with color and celebration. Kites are flown a way to communicate with the beyond. Cemeteries are turned into fiestas as relatives come to celebrate with the deceased.
