What to Expect
We’ll start with a shuttle ride to the north side of town, getting us well above Antigua and closer to the day’s best riding. From the drop-off point, the adventure begins with a solid climb on paved roads up to the ridge that separates Antigua from San Lucas.
Once we reach the top, we’ll hit the trail and start a fun descent toward San Mateo las Flores, with plenty of playful sections along the way. After the first descent, we’ll traverse back toward El Hato before climbing up to Hobbitenango, where we’ll drop into another stretch of great singletrack.
The trail leads us down to Earth Lodge, a perfect spot to pause for a drink and take in the sweeping views of the Antigua valley. From there, we’ll finish with one more trail descent back toward Antigua, with options to add a few extra sections depending on how the group is feeling.

What Our Travelers Are Saying…
Excellent Mtn Biking
The owner, Matt and the staff at Old Town Outfitters were very professional and helpful during both the 1/2 day mountain bike rides I did with them. The bikes were in great shape along with the rest of the gear they provided. They even lent me a pair of clip-in shoes with pedals for easier riding. The guides were great on both days - the owner on the Volcano ride and Oseas on the Cielo Grande ride. It seemed like they were very busy with volcano hikes, especially Acatenango. Would use them for the hikes and biking for sure next time.

Book Your Adventure
Choose your dates below, or join and existing trip and save with tiered pricing!
What's Tiered Pricing?
We work with a tiered pricing system, which means that the individual price per person depends on the total number of paying customers (or PAX) in the respective group. This allows us to operate without fixed departure days and required minimums. Joining existing trips is usually the best option for solo travelers, as this way we can offer a lower trip price from the start. You can see all our trips on the calendar of confirmed departures. You can keep track of the calendar to see if and which tours we still get going for your preferred trip dates. If you prioritize not making a commitment ahead of time and prefer to book on short notice, this would be the way to go.
That being said, you can of course start a new group yourself for your preferred trip date in order to get the ball rolling and hopefully have other people join over the coming weeks. If you prioritize securing the date and ensuring guide availability, choose this option. We usually charge a deposit of the respective 2-person trip price to get started. If more people join the group, the trip price will come down accordingly. Any resulting price difference we will of course refund you. In case nobody else joins, you would however have to be prepared to pay the full corresponding 1-person price in order for your trip to still go forward.
