Nice ride through the hills and mountains outside of Guanajuato. Mostly downhill on fire roads. Technically and physically easy. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area. Nice stop at a village bakery with fresh out of the oven buns.

Susana and Antonio were fantastic ‘bike guides’, well-informed about local history (including prehistory), plants and fauna. And they were very patient with folks who haven’t been on a bicycle for a while. We rode through Puentecillas and up to Sombrero Pt. which gave us a beautiful view of the reservoir and surrounding landscape of Guanajuato. It was my favorite activity in the city. Will definitely do it again.I had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. My guide, Antonio, was informative, very kind as well as patient with me an emergent Spanish speaker. If you visit, Guanajuato do not miss out a trip with Cacimixtle.

It was great! We were picked up 2min from our hotel in a safe place he could park with bikes, helmets and gloves loaded in the truck. Antonio drove us up to the forest and pointed out areas of interest and talked about the mining culture here. I am a large woman and hadn’t rode a bike in over 10 years but in the spirit of trying something new that my son wanted to do, we gave it a go! We stopped as needed, we passed some communities in the forest and while I was resting, he showed my son how to use his sling and let him try his sling shot while we overlooked a canyon area of the forest. It was much cooler temps than here in the city so the breeze felt great while riding. His son who also does tours and was communicating with me to arrange this, he was super responsive and answered all our questions. They don’t have “wider” seats which I think would have helped me but I just took breaks as needed. We would definitely do another type of tour with them for sure!As a seasoned Mountain Biker, I must admit that this was one of my favorite rides all time.The guide,Antonio, is a retired Mine engineer who knows who really knows the mountains of Guanajuato because he worked in the surrounding mines.

As a seasoned Mountain Biker, I must admit that this was one of my favorite rides all time.The guide,Antonio, is a retired Mine engineer who knows who really knows the mountains of Guanajuato because he worked in the surrounding mines. In addition, he is very popular with the people that live in the pueblos along the trail. At one point he took me into a house built on top of ruins which happened to be a bakery which baked pan dulce with fire wood. Definitely the best I have had in all of Mexico. The route is perfect for beginner to advance and concludes with a ride through colonial downtown Guanajuato.
