Bikepacking Highlights:
- Reach off the beaten path destinations
- Stay in remote Mayan villages and eat with local families
- Incredible mountain scenes that most Guatemala tourists never experience
I went down to Guatemala with my friend Stephan not entirely sure what to expect, and to say we were pleasantly surprised is a huge understatement. Our bikepacking tour with Chris and Matt through the Mayan Highlands was the trip of a lifetime. We went from hut to hut in some of the most beautiful and remote places that Guatemala has to offer. We got to eat delicious food with local families along the way, and we definitely got to quench our thirst for adventure as well. 10/10 would recommend to any mountain biker looking for more than your average bikepacking tour.

FAQs
Do you offer bikepacking gear or should I bring my own?
We design and fabricate our own line of bikepacking bags called 'Travesia'. Let us know if you're interested in buying or renting gear, otherwise you can definitely bring gear from home too!
Do I need to bring my own bike?
We know that you are always more comfortable on your own gear, however, airlines charge $$$ for bikes. We have a fleet of recent model Kona mountain bikes that you can ride.
What if it rains?
As long as it is safe to do so we will head out on the scheduled ride. For whatever reason, if we have to cancel the ride we will first attempt to reschedule or offer an opportunity to head out on another trip. If that is not possible we will refund your trip payment.
