Overview

Start your adventure from your hotel or Airbnb in Oaxaca. We travel by van to Mitla, where the bike tour begins. Pedal between agave fields towards the village of Xaagá, as you discover rural life: peasants working the land, adobe craftsmen and looms, and an old forgotten hacienda.

Continue to the prehistoric caves of Mitla. There we left the bikes and started a 2-hour hike on mountain trails until we reached impressive rock art shows, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Then, we decided as a group whether to continue cycling or transport to the archaeological site of Mitla. Explore this best preserved archaeological site in Mexico, with a certified bilingual guide, admiring its famous stone mosaics and ceremonial architecture.

We close the experience with a comfortable return to Oaxaca, closing an unforgettable day full of adventure, history and unique landscapes.
