Route of the Mills Mountain Bike Tour

After hotel pickup in Tuxtla Gutiérrez or San Cristóbal, transfer to the tour operator’s office in San Cristóbal and get outfitted with a mountain bike, and then head out for a guided 15-mile (24-km) ride that explores the culture, history and natural environment of southern Mexico.

Pass by historic windmills dating from the 18th and 19th centuries that were once used in the production of wheat and grain. Listen as your guide explains the function and history of the mills. Next explore the Kin’vo cave as well as Mammoth Cave, an impressive subterranean cavern system.

If you’ve traveled from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, you’ll have about 2 hours to explore San Cristóbal, a bustling city of cobblestone streets and traditional markets, and long a popular destination for travelers. At the end of the trip, enjoy the drive back to your hotel in Tuxtla Gutiérrez or San Cristóbal.
