Leave Oaxaca City behind on an unforgettable 58 km cross-country mountain biking adventure through the Central Valleys. Ride a carefully selected route that combines bike paths, dirt roads, scenic trails, rural villages, archaeological treasures, and spectacular mountain landscapes.
Meet your guide in downtown Oaxaca and begin riding on a protected bike lane shaded by trees. This mostly flat section is the perfect warm-up as you leave the city behind, passing farmland, rolling hills, and the peaceful outskirts of Oaxaca.
Soon, the adventure continues onto cross-country trails through agave fields and the beautiful countryside of rural Oaxaca. Ride alongside the Sierra Norte mountains, passing traditional Zapotec villages and enjoying landscapes rarely seen by most visitors.
Reach the colorful village of Teotitlán del Valle, renowned for its centuries-old weaving tradition. Take time to explore the main square, visit the church, and browse family-run workshops where artisans create handwoven wool rugs using traditional techniques.
Continue riding to Dainzú, one of Oaxaca's hidden archaeological gems. Nestled against a hillside and surrounded by towering pitayo and nopal cacti, this little-visited Zapotec site offers a peaceful glimpse into the region's ancient history as you explore it on foot.
Continue to the village of Tlacochahuaya for a well-earned local lunch before hopping back on the bikes for the final ride to Oaxaca City.
Designed for riders with previous cycling experience, whether in road cycling, XC, or mountain biking, this experience combines physical challenge, authentic culture, ancient history, and breathtaking scenery into one unforgettable day.
