MTB tour from Chiconquiaco to Actopan 5 hours

mountain biking is an extreme sport that requires a high physical and technical level to be able to perform. If you think you are capable, come to Xalapa to discover natural wonders in nearby towns by traveling 74 kilometers ( 5 hours approximately ) of this region with a group of athletes like you. The only thing you will have to bring is your bicycle and protective equipment, which we will put on the route and the best guides.

Everything begins and ends in the capital of the state of Veracruz : Xalapa . From there we will move in one of our vans to Chiconquiaco . We will start the ride where a good part of this section is up and down the mountain; the landscapes are truly spectacular. We will appreciate the valleys, farms, cows, sheep, goats ... an isolated part of Veracruz . It's like looking into a fractal and discovering that there is a whole world there.

After this first section of slopes, there is a dizzying descent to Los Naranjos . At some point the road is no longer paved and gravel begins that makes the descent exciting. Caution : It is easy to get out of a curve if the braking is not calculated well.

From Los Naranjos to El Huérfano is a relatively short climb, but steep and difficult. The road is a kind of ash or very fine earth, with pieces of gravel and the tires do not have good traction, climbing on the saddle from start to finish is the challenge of the route. At some points along the way there are caves where fresh and clean water comes out, ideal for soaking a bandana and cooling your head.

We will continue Climbing , with a very fast descent on the same fine earth and gravel. The mountain rises up to 1750 meters above sea level . Then a long and fast descent begins to Madroño . We will continue pedaling towards La Reforma, a very long descent and the path is quite straight, but it is made of irregular and pointed gravel.

From La Reforma , there is a paved road, in good condition, that descends little by little to the Cempoala River and crosses it. It is a stretch to enjoy in which you will accelerate at ease; It is the type of road with an ideal slope to put a higher ratio and give it to pleasure or let the bike roll alone.

After crossing the river there is a small ascent to the junction with the road that goes to Actopan . There, after taking a little tour of the town, we arrived at a restaurant, and now we are going to eat some delicious seafood . Already spare parts with food and water , we load the bicycles into the vans and start the return to Xalapa.

Without a doubt, an incredible and well-planned route, which you will enjoy living a unique experience.
