Sierra Madre crossing Mountain Bike Trip
This mountain bike adventure is one of the most amazing and demanding rides on earth. It brings us up from the valleys were the famous drink, Tequila, comes from, takes us to hidden towns in the "Sierra Madre" and at the end we will end up at the beautiful "Bahia de Banderas" , famous for its beaches and home to the world famous town of Puerto Vallarta.

This ride is only for experienced and in-shape mountain bikers. It is recommended that you train properly and prepare for this excursion.

On this ride we will visit tipical Mexican towns like Mascota; old minning towns like San Sebastian; and of course the incredible beaches of the Bahia de Banderas, where we will be able to participate in different activities like surfing, snorkeling, kayaking or just chilling out on the beach.
