Highlander: Mexico Connection

Airport Pick-Up

Welcome to Guatemala! We meet you at La Aurora Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City with a private shuttle and bring you to the historic town of Antigua for the night (45 minute drive).

Volcanoes of Antigua

4 hours riding, 0-35% off pavement
We will meet at our shop where we will familiarize you with your bike and have a briefing about the tour. We’ll then go on a Cultural ride in the foothills and villages surrounding Antigua. We’ll have nice volcano views and get adjusted the bikes.

The rest of the afternoon will be yours to wander the beautiful cobblestone streets of Antigua. We will help you get local currency today if needed.

To Lake Atitlan

5.5 hours riding, 0-35% off pavement
We will meet at our shop where we will familiarize you with your bike and have a briefing about the tour. As we leave town we’ll zig-zag our way up a volcano to 8,500 feet of elevtion, and cross canyons on our way to Lake Atitlan. We will spend the night in Panajachel right by the lake with wonderful views.

Way North to Farm Country

8 hours riding, 15% off pavement
Today is a big day. We’ll head-out early and climb up above the lake by 8am. We’ll wind through the mountains on the best stretch of the Panamerican Highway for several hours, and drop down into some dirt to take us out to the Cenotes de Candelaria. We’ll spend the night in a remote farm run by the local community. There’s no electricity, so don’t plan on needing your devices!

Mexico and Back

6 hours riding, 25% off pavement
A tiny border crossing into Mexico in the morning isn’t far off. We’ll ride out to a series of turquoise lakes along the Mexico/Guatemala border and have lunch with a view. There are some great dirt roads that take us on a loop through the jungle, and we’ll have the chance to explore some partially undiscovered Mayan ruins.

To the Plateau!

5 hours, 30% off-pavement
One of the best riding routes in all of Guatemala. Today we climb and climb and climb and have the option of reaching the highest non-volcanic point in Central America. We’ll stay in the middle of the Cuchumatanes, and it may get a little chilly at night!

Back to Antigua

8 hours riding, 25% off pavement
Once the temperature raises a bit and the fog has lifted, we’ll gear up and head down through the mountains. We’ll drop 5,000 feet quickly and be back in the rolling hills of Central Guatemala. We’ll make our way through some canyons and along ridge lines back towards Antigua. They’ll be many great photo opportunities and unique sights today.

Airport Drop-Off

Goodbyes are always sad, but you’re headed to the airport, and we’ll get you there. Our shuttle takes you to the airport for your departure.
