About Activity
If you are looking for more than a sightseeing tour, this is your tour. We move away from flat routes to offer a high-energy experience designed to challenge your limits. Unlike other tours, here the effort is part of the prize: you will test your technique on demanding ascents and natural terrain that very few travelers get to know.
What makes us unique is the perfect timing and location. Not only will you see the sunset over the Sierra Norte and Sierra Sur, but hopefully witness the magic of the moon emerging on the horizon as the sun sets. It is a total connection with Oaxacan geography from a 360 degree perspective that is only achieved by pedaling to the top. It is adrenaline, effort and the best panorama of the city in one tour.

Ready to conquer the top? This experience is exclusive to advanced cyclists looking for a physical and technical challenge. We will face an intense ascent of 2 km by nature trails with stretches of stone and steep slopes.
After approximately 40 minutes of constant pedaling at 1,800 meters, we will reach the summit of Cerro de Atzompa. The reward is unmatched: a 360-degree panoramic view of the Central Valleys, Oaxaca City and the majestic Sierra Madre.
You will enjoy the sunset from a privileged point, watching the golden light bathe the archaeological area and the valleys. It is the perfect combination of adrenaline, physical effort and the most spectacular landscape in the region.
Note: Excellent fitness and technical mastery of the bike is required on uneven terrain.

A truly unique way to explore the Oaxacan CountrysideTheGreatLakes
Luis took us biking on the backroads of Oaxaca Valley starting in Tulle. He provided the bikes and the helmets: excellent quality and condition. We had an early morning start when it is cooler. It was completely safe. Along the way Luis pointed out various landmarks, flora and fauna. Our final destination was a small well preserved Zapoteca Archaeological Site. We finished the excursion with lunch in Tulle: stone soup.
We were exhausted and happy.

We searched all the different ways to visit Monte Albán from Centro: We are SO glad we landed with the bicycle tour offered by Luis. Truly the highlight of our time in Oaxaca. He timed the visit to the ruins perfectly, beating both the heat and the crowds of the day. The bicycle rides through the countryside were spectacular and an incredible way to experience Oaxaca. Lunch at a village restaurant was tasty—and never to be found without his guidance. Water and energy drinks are provided, which is a great touch. But not the greatest: after the trip he sent us a video clip of the day’s adventures! I can’t enough good things—you will not regret going on one of Luis’ treks.
Bike ride in Oaxaca with Luis Ramirez and Oaxaca By BikeSteve H
My wife and I did a wonderful bike tour with Luis. He is a great guide - friendly and knowledgeable. The bikes are high quality and he took good care of us and made sure we were safe. It was fun to pass through many small villages and we had a great mid-morning meal in Teotitlán. He was very attentive when we wanted to stop and take photos or needed a short break. Oaxaca By Bike is a great way to see the countryside if you are a cyclist!
