This adventure is designed for mountain bikers with prior experience who are already confident with shifting and braking, can lift their bike over small obstacles, and manage short, steep climbs and descents.

It’s ideal for those looking to refine their skills on singletrack trails that are moderately technical with rocks or roots, rarely steep, and never exposed—a great way to reinforce the basics.

In terms of stamina, it suits occasional mountain bikers or regular athletes, with rides following progressive 4×4 tracks, some steeper sections, and daily elevation gains between 600 and 1000 meters.

NOTE: If you don’t have the skills and stamina required, the guide reserves the right to ask you to leave the group for the well-being of the rest of the riders.
