Highlights
  • Continental Itsmo Tours - Our bicycle tour kicks off from our office in the heart of the city. We navigate through parts of Oaxaca before hitting the road that leads us straight to the town of Santa Maria el Tule, which is 10km away. Given that this is a leisurely route, we allocate about 1 hour for the transfer. Note: This tour is designed for individuals with prior biking experience and some physical endurance; it is not suitable for beginners.
  • Tule Tree - We’ll take a break at the gastronomic market in Santa Maria el Tule for breakfast (if you choose the Food option), followed by a visit to the ancient Tule Tree. Afterward, we head to Santo Domingo Tomaltepec, which is 6 km or about 30 minutes away.
  • Santo Domingo Tomaltepec - In Santo Domingo Tomaltepec, we’ll explore traditional bread and saddlery workshops, then proceed to the town’s water dam where we can relax and enjoy the scenery. After our break, we start our journey back to Oaxaca via the same route through Santa Maria el Tule.
  • Continental Itsmo Tours - After resting in Santo Domingo Tomaltepec, we make our way back to Oaxaca, covering a distance of 16 km. We’ll take breaks for rest and hydration as needed. This return trip typically takes between 1.5 to 2 hours.

A nice ride - Good tour. Good guides since to get to Santa Maria El Tule you have to leave the city. The road to Santo Domingo Tomaltepec is very fun, you arrive at the town dam Recommended

Our tour guide ( Leon) was both knowledgeable and helpful throughout. after the interesting visit to Tule tree we rode up to the reservoir and once cooled and hydrated returned back through Tule tree I would recommend this tour.

Fun way to spend the day - A fun, but tiring day mountain biking in the countryside. We enjoyed our guide and his assistant as they led us through the streets of Oaxaca and out to the countryside. We enjoyed an authentic breakfast at a small reservoir. Coming from sea level comma the altitude was apparent when we were climbing the hills on the dirt roads. The Tule Tree was interesting and the town was charming. The bikes were decent but gearing seemed to be an issue with most of them.

A rugged but wonderful ride - While the going can be a bit rough until you learn your bike and the terrain, this is a great bike ride through rural Oaxaca. The views were great, it was wonderful to step outside the city, and the guides were helpful, patient and understanding. They really did their best to ensure that everyone successfully completed the ride, from offering tips to blocking car traffic. It was a wonderful experience.
