Urban Warm-Up and Ascent Kick off with a brisk pedal out of Oaxaca’s bustling heart before taking on a 400-meter paved climb. Feel your adrenaline rise alongside the road, and reach the iconic heights of Monte Albán in just under an hour.
Monte Albán Ruins Exploration After a short break and a snack, venture into the ancient Monte Albán ruins (entry included). Stroll among mysterious stone temples and take in sweeping, little-known vistas of Oaxaca’s valleys and cityscape.
Thrilling Dirt Descent Refreshed and recharged, begin your first adrenaline-pumping descent through ecological dirt trails of medium to advanced difficulty. Dash past agave fields and wooded paths on a 40-minute adventure to a local store for a quick resupply.
Climb & Final Downhill to Atzompa Tackle the last 200-meter road climb toward Atzompa’s lesser-known ruins before launching into a final exhilarating descent. The ride ends at a pristine natural spring—a hidden gem—and follows a historic path past the old Oaxaca train station.

Relive the day's thrilling climbs, ancient mysteries, and hidden springs over local snacks or a refreshing drink.
