We start from the city by bike: our ride is a 5-km climb, between paved streets and some dirt trails towards the east.
Afterwards, we take a short descent to see the small communities of the Tzotzil Chamula Mayan group. This part of the area is divided into 97 small villages of 40 to 80 houses scattered among pine and oak forests.

We visit a 17th-century church in Carmen del Arcotete and talk about Mayan culture and traditions. At this point, we have our longest break.

We continue with ups and downs on community dirt roads, heading towards the natural stone arch and the El Arcotete community park. There, we will have the option of another long break and/or having a light meal or drink. We walk down to the arch or see the small grotto inside the arch.

We start the last climb to find the way back and descend to the city on a paved road, finishing the approximately 20 km.

On the tour, we talk about history, culture, and traditions. We also give tips on mountain biking and technique.

We're nature lovers and we like to share our experience. The bike gives us the option to visit non-touristy places and to exercise.
