Guided MTB Tour: 30-40 Km / Fitness level: Intermediate / Group Size: Up to 8 people
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Join us at Coyote Adventures at 7:00 a.m. for a unique mountain biking excursion through the beautiful landscapes of Oaxaca. After a brief introduction to the day’s activities, we will begin pedaling through the historic center of the city, navigating its cobblestone streets and admiring iconic landmarks such as churches, parks, and neighborhoods adorned with vibrant murals.
We start our journey through the picturesque cobblestone streets of Oaxaca’s historic center, admiring landmarks like churches, parks, and neighborhoods where street artists decorate the walls with messages of social justice and vibrant murals.
Our next stop is the Zapotec archaeological site of Dainzú (600 BCE–1200 CE). This complex, located in the Central Valleys region, was used for religious rituals and the ancient ball game, which is still practiced in some parts of Oaxaca. An e-bike tour of Dainzú will allow you to explore the site at your own pace while enjoying the scenery and immersing yourself in the rich Zapotec history and culture.
As our guide shares stories of the ancient ball players, we’ll get ready to continue our journey.
Time to keep pedaling! We’ll travel through dirt rural roads, agave fields, and mountainous landscapes until we reach Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec community that preserves its culture through traditions, language, gastronomy, music, rituals, and dance. We’ll explore the village, visit the local church, and enjoy a picnic at the market. Additionally, we’ll meet a family of artisans who weave Zapotec tapestries with both ancestral and modern symbols.
The adventure continues as we pedal along ancient roads surrounded by mountains, agaves, and flowers. Finally, we reach Santiago Matatlán, the world capital of mezcal.
In this village, a local family who produces artisanal mezcal will welcome us with a tasting and a traditional Oaxacan cocktail. Here, we’ll learn the secrets of mezcal distillation while enjoying the warmth of our host family. After our tasting, we’ll share a traditional meal.
With our “stomach full and hearts content,” we’ll begin the return to the city of Oaxaca, carrying with us the memories of an incredible day exploring the ancient and promising future of the Zapotec people.
