About this experience

We will visit from the urban everyday of the south of the island, to what exists of the most sublime in its preserved nature: dunes, islands, lagoons, beaches, trails in nature. The group will be a maximum of 4 participants. The levels range from easy to moderate and the distance averages 30 to 50 km, and the wide variety of attractions end up distracting those less used to longer pedals. We tailor the ride to the participants’ abilities.

Our differentials are also: knowledge about the environment, culture and local geography, the partnerships with residents of the visited locations, which allows us to offer options of experiences that are often not accessible to visitors on traditional routes and knowledge about other options of differentiated trails, trails and corners only accessible by those who cycle them.
