Itinerary

Oaxaca

We will visit the most representative places of the City of Oaxaca by bicycle, in the picturesque streets of street art that this beautiful city offers, we will locate places of local preference and we will combine the tour with a lot of art and history! We will make multiple breaks to observe art and take photographs in the oldest neighborhoods of the City, Jalatlaco and Xochimilco, with alleys decorated by Oaxacan artists and emblematic architecture of Oaxaca.

30 minutes
Templo de San Matias Jalatlaco

Located in one of the most popular neighborhoods of the City of Oaxaca, the Jalatlaco neighborhood, with its unique architecture within the area known for its colorful murals that evoke the Day of the Dead festivities and known for its traditional "comparsas", today it is a tourist and cultural reference that we will undoubtedly not miss to be able to take beautiful photographs and learn more about the urban planning and celebrations of Oaxaca!

20 minutes
Los Arquitos De Xochimilco

With its colorful streets and old houses, the Xochimilco neighborhood stands out for being one of the oldest neighborhoods in this city founded in 1486 by Xochimilca - Aztec warriors where we will see old pre-colonial buildings. Right here are the arches of Xochimilco of colonial construction that were part of the San Felipe aqueduct built in the mid-eighteenth century to supply water to the population. A must-see when visiting Oaxaca!

20 minutes
Cerro del Fortin

Depending on the physical condition of the group, we will be able to see the City from the viewpoint located on the highest hill near the center where we will have unique panoramic views of the city, excellent for photographs and sunsets! We will pass by the Oaxaca crafts house and the house of one of the most emblematic characters of Mexico, the former president and Oaxacan Don Benito Juárez García!

30 minutes
Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman

We will visit one of the most beautiful churches in all of Latin America, the Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán! Today it is a cultural center made up of the Ex-convent, the Museum of the Cultures of Oaxaca, the Ethnobotanical Garden, the Burgoa Library and the Public Newspaper Archive. This great enclosure had many uses throughout its history since the beginning of its construction in 1570. It really reflects much of the history of the Oaxacan population! We will observe the New Spain baroque architecture of the beautiful Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Cultural Heritage of Humanity and with luck we will see a "calenda" or "wedding" in the streets of the city, since the party never ends here!

Fun, relaxing, city ride, by a great local guide!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great way to see parts of the city. Dani was an awesome guide and made sure we were comfortable riding through the city and that our bikes were working well. We never felt rushed which made the trip relaxing. Dani was extremely knowledgeable and super accommodating when our schedules changed a bit. He even gave us several recommendations for other places to see and eat. We highly recommend them for anyone wanting to see Oaxaca City is a new way!

Do this day one of your trip!

Daniel, our guide and owner, has an upbeat and uplifting personality. He speaks very good English which made the tour more informative and engaging for us non-Spanish speakers. Being a native of Oaxaca, Daniel has an intimate connection with Oaxaca and knows the culture, customs, history and geography of the city extremely well. Riding through the streets can be a little daunting at first..traffic, narrow passages, bumpy roads…but the mountain bikes are well maintained and easy to handle and they gobble up all the urban terrain, no problem. Mostly flat ride with a few hills so not physically demanding, plus you get to stop multiple times to observe various sites, art, architecture and markets. Great trip to be done day one of your visit. Fair value! Great experience!

Great art bicycle tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Daniel did a great job of touring us around on the bike tour. Saw many interesting murals and an artsy village that many tourists don't go to. The price of the tour was extremely reasonable. He does a great job. Highly recommend his tour!
