- Oaxaca - We will start by pedaling for 20 minutes until we leave the city and then ascend 400mts on road until we reach the top of the ruins of Monte Albán which will take approximately 40 minutes. Once at the top we can rest for a while, eat a snack and admire an incredible and not very known view of the central valleys and the urban area of Oaxaca that, together with majestic mountains and beautiful clouds, make an excellent scene for incredible photos. Later we will descend though ecological dirt trails with fast and fun sections of medium difficulty until we reach the middle of our route in a local store where we can resupply ourselves with water and food.
Once rested we will climb the last 200mts on road to the top of the Atzompa ruins where we will finally take the last descent that leads directly to the historic center of the city enjoying all the cultural wealth, colors and art that abounds in all its streets.
This activity requires intermediate-advanced mountain biking experience.

Seeing Oaxaca from DE bike gives a whole DE other view of the city. Very nice in combination with Monte Alban. - Huberto, our tour guide DE takes a professional approach. Good bike EN and a helmet. Drink EN for the road and an energy bar we were given. DE tour can begin. DE guide guided us safely EN quickly through the busy traffic of Oaxaca with just 4 arm gestures. So far so good. DE mountain to Monte Alban was hard. But we've come up. Monte Alban was magnificent. EN then we went down hill with DE Mountain bikes. What an experience. DE city was beautifully decorated EN that was DE icing on DE cake. Very nice tour.

Great intro to mt biking! - This was an excellent introduction to mountain biking for anyone who is already a good biker. Great varied terrain including bike lane, some streets, dirt track, dirt roads, and finally rocky dirt road. Mainly rolling but a long gradual climb that was exciting coming down and a rocky section that was great practice on more difficult terrain.

Best way to start your day. - I loved this activity! Humberto & Clement were amazing guides. They took me and another rider on an epic 25 miles mountain bike ride. We started off cruising through the outskirts of Oaxaca city on a bike path until we got to a small village and a finally hit the trails! We rode up the side of a mountain, with over 1,000ft of climbing. We stopped a few time to check out the scenery and have a drink. After chilling at the top for a little bit we shredded back down the trail we rode up! Clement absolutely shredded down the mountain side, it was so easy just following his lines. At the bottom of the mountain we headed back to the bike path and made our way back to the shop. This adventure was 10/10, a perfect morning on the bike.

Downcountry adventure - Humberto was very friendly and made sure I booked the tour that best fit with what I wanted to do. The bikes were clean and in good working order. My guide, Angle, took great care of me and rode at my pace. I highly recommend taking a tour with this company. The single track was also better than expected.

cool family biking trip to Monte Alban - Cool trip to Monte Alban with Umberto and his crew. They were accommodating of the varied skill levels in our group, so the route taken worked out for all. They did a great job shepherding us through the rather chaotic and intimidating traffic downtown. The decent down from Monte Alban as very scenic, including a side trip over to an ancient fresh water spring.

Completely satisfied! - Great tour with very nice and helpful guides. The tour was adapted to our ability and was neither too easy nor too difficult, just right.
The guides gave us tips for cycling and shared information about the city and the country with us.
We were completely satisfied.

Great mountain biking experience - This was an excellent bike ride on the hills outside Oaxaca! It was a really good workout with challenging uphill parts and exhilarating downhills. The level was mostly intermediate with some advanced downhill sections that I had to walk through. I highly recommend the tour.
I was the only one on the tour with one guide. We started in the city and biked on the streets with traffic in the first part. The ride up the hill to Monte Alban is quite challenging. I had to stop a few times. There are nice views at the top. Then you go down on dirt trails past agave fields and through some villages. Next is the hill up to Atzompa, another indigenous site. By this time I was out of energy and had to walk the bike up. After that was another downhill part with some advanced sections. It was great fun!
The last part is biking back through the city. Traffic was quite heavy by this time, and there are no protected bike lanes, but it is manageable. All in all, a very good experience if you enjoy mountain biking.

Bike to Ruins in Oaxaca - Humberto was an excellent guide. He made sure the bike was adjusted and comfortable for me before we set off and showed a lot of patience on a challenging ride, giving me tips and taking breaks whenever needed. The tour was challenging but rewarding and I enjoyed the views and chatting with Humberto as we navigated the hills to and from the ruins.
