What To Expect
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.
