We’ll start with a shuttle ride to the north side of town, getting us well above Antigua and closer to the day’s best riding. From the drop-off point, the adventure begins with a solid climb on paved roads up to the ridge that separates Antigua from San Lucas.

Once we reach the top, we’ll hit the trail and start a fun descent toward San Mateo las Flores, with plenty of playful sections along the way. After the first descent, we’ll traverse back toward El Hato before climbing up to Hobbitenango, where we’ll drop into another stretch of great singletrack.

The trail leads us down to Earth Lodge, a perfect spot to pause for a drink and take in the sweeping views of the Antigua valley. From there, we’ll finish with one more trail descent back toward Antigua, with options to add a few extra sections depending on how the group is feeling.
