Mountain Biking Near Mazunte, Oaxaca

Whilst staying in Mazunte, I started getting cravings for some off-road exploring. Jenny’s Spanish maestro and local rafting guide, Daniel, kindly gave me some tips for some dirt road networks near Pochutla and Tonameca. I mapped out a few tracks for the Garmin and set off to explore!

You can cycle on the paved roads to reach Tonameca where it then turns to dirt for miles and miles. If you want to skip the paved roads, you can throw your bike in the back of a ‘collectivo’ truck for about $10-20 pesos (£0.55-£1.10).</p> <figure class="wp-caption aligncenter"> <div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px;"><a class="thickbox" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HA8sbAn-hXU/UcDcZPd9EYI/AAAAAAAABmQ/TWrzpo4LszI/w1100/2013-06-01-011.jpg" rel="post-"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter pe2-photo" alt="2013-06-01-011.jpg" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HA8sbAn-hXU/UcDcZPd9EYI/AAAAAAAABmQ/TWrzpo4LszI/w827-o/2013-06-01-011.jpg" /></a></div> <p class="wp-caption-text">The collectivo trucks were still crossing this river when I took this photo.
