Mountain Bike Tours
Due to ongoing development in the jungle between Sayulita and San Pancho, our MTB and Hiking trail network will be temporarily interrupted for the next few months. We’re working to reroute trails sustainably and reactivate them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!
Meanwhile:
– All Advanced MTB Tours will now depart from our NEW Wildmex San Pancho location.
A free shuttle is available for guests staying in Sayulita.
– Beginner and Intermediate MTB Tours will continue to depart from either Wildmex Sayulita or Wildmex San Pancho locations.
– For Mountain Bike Rentals:
• Looking for advanced trails? Rent from our San Pancho Shop.
• For beginner and intermediate adventures, either location works great!
We appreciate your flexibility and are excited to continue offering incredible riding experiences! 🚵♂️🌿
Mountain biking in Sayulita and the Punta Mita area is a great way to experience the local jungle and explore nearby beaches and towns. Our MTB tours range from novice to experienced, with MTB trails that go from mellow dirt roads to Technical Singletrack. Available from November to July every year. During the rainy season, we can organize special tours depending on the weather conditions.
We have two great mountain bike trail system options for our tours: either the Malpaso Singletracks MTB Tour for intermediate or advanced riders or the Punta Sayulita MTB Tour for beginner riders, although both options can be adjusted to suit your needs and level of ability.
MOUNTAIN BIKE TOURS SAYULITA – THE MALPASO TRAILS
The Malpaso mountain bike trails between Sayulita and San Pancho are on private property and either a guided trip or a permit is required to ride them. All our MTB tours are guided by local riders who helped build the bike trails and know them well. 100% of the profits from our MTB tours and rentals go towards cleaning and maintaining these local mountain bike trails.
