EXPLORE AROUND SAYULITA AND PUNTA DE MITA ON FOOT

Our MTB tours range from novice to experienced, with MTB trails that go from mellow dirt roads to Technical Singletrack. Available from November to July every year. During the rainy season, we can organize special tours depending on the weather conditions.
We have two great mountain bike trail system options for our tours: either the Malpaso Singletracks MTB Tour for intermediate or advanced riders or the Punta Sayulita MTB Tour for beginner riders, although both options can be adjusted to suit your needs and level of ability.
