This trip will put Mexican culture front and center.  We start our trip at the Pyramids at  Teotihuacan, ride through the two volcanoes visible from Mexico City Popo and Izta, before we turn our sights on the Gulf Coast. Along the way we’ll ride an area known as the Atlas Mountains.  Unlike their Moroccan counterpart these mountains are verdant, and stretch across high mountain valleys and into the cane fields that stretch to the coast.  This trip features everything, and we intend to take you places you’ve never heard of and give you a night on the town in North America’s largest and most cosmopolitan cities, CDMX.

You'll arrive at our hotel across the road from the Pyramids of Teotihucan and have time to throw your gear in a room and head over to explore the pyramids.  This first night we have a kick off dinner planned and will introduce you to your bikes for the week.  Dinner is on us at the hotel, and afterwards we can check out the Aztec ball court and pool in they have.  It's a good idea to get up early the next morning to watch the hot air balloons as they fly over the pyramids.  

After breakfast and watching the hot air balloons rise up over the pyramids of the sun, moon, and serpent, we'll ride to the ever present volcanoes on the horizon of Mexico City; Popo and Itza. The last hour or so will be a treat as we ride the twisty roads up into the pine forest at of Mexico's famous national park. It will be chilly at night, so bundle up be ready for a night under the stars.

Today will be a spectacular ride. After we come off the Volcanoes, and a lunch near Puebla, we'll make our way on one of Mexico's most famous stretches of highway through the town of Orizba to our destination in Cordoba. Veracruz is home to the Atlas mountain range and is some of the most spectacular riding in the world. You'll come away with a new appreciation for it's forests and mountains.

More waterfalls and hot springs! After breakfast over looking the main square in Cordoba we'll spot by an old railroad tunnel/bridge with a fantastic waterfall. In the afternoon, we'll edge along the pampa and it's cane fields as we snake along the Atlas mountain range to our thermal hot springs spot for the night. Nothing like a soak after a long ride.

From the Volcanoes to the coast... the Gulf will call you as we ride out of the mountains to this dune scape just north of the city of Veracruz. Set into the coast this spot offers an ecotourism access to the lagoons, cliffs, and sand dunes which we can swim, paddle, and ride. Our little Casitas are a great way to spend the night on the coast.

After one last dip in the gulf we'll head up to the city of Xalapa. This town feels like San Francisco with it's winding and hilly streets. There's an old volcanic vent which has been turned into a city park which I love to walk through. It's a relaxing town for us to climatize before we ride over the pass into Mexico City the next day.

On our last day on the road you're going to feel all that Mexico is. From riding among the hundreds of extinct volcanic vents of the high Atlas Mountain Valleys, to the the heart of North America's largest city. But don't worry, if zipping through urban traffic isn't your thing, we have a spot set up to turn your bike in before we get into the city, and you can ride the last hour or so in our chase van. For our last night we'll stay in the Condessa Neighborhood in my favorite boutique hotel on the Parque Mexico. There's so much to do here; dinner, parks, lucha libre matches... let us know what you want to do and we'll make it happen.
