We will shuttle 30 minutes outside Antigua through the town of Parramos and the small village of Chirijuyu to meet our trailhead. From there we begin an introductory climb followed by a 3km jeep track descent through coffee and avocado plantations. We will ride smooth trails through agricultural operations and then cross the rustic town of San Andres Itzapa. From there we will start our second climb (4km) up through the town on paved and cobble stoned roads before entering a pine forest at 1900m (6,400ft). Crossing a small ravine will bring us to a smooth descent and fast singletrack through pine trees. This will exit into the plains of Parramos crossing fields of corn, fruit, beans and greenhouses as you wind along agricultural singletrack. The final descent follows 500+ year old trails that have been eroded into tunnels of tight twisty fun. Exit in the town of Pastores and cycle the gradual paved downhill back to Antigua!

    All the fun without all the work!

    This is an excellent ride. I did this ride twice over the past month each with one of my adult children. David is a fantastic guide - knowledgable, fun and willing to follow our interests. While some of the downhill sections were challenging, they were doable even for us beginners. The ride requires a good deal of fitness and strong overall biking skills but the sights, and cultural points of interest are worth the effort and most of the ride is relatively easy flat land riding through fields and small towns. Iglesia San Simon in San Andres Itzapa is a cultural wonder, a mayan ritual center in a 'church'. We ending the ride on the outskirts of Antigua with Ceviche and Michiladas. Overall, this is a superfun ride with very little work mainly because they bring you up 1500 feet and then you get to ride down!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your repeat business and we're glad you enjoy the ride so much! We look forward to seeing you again in the future!

    Great ride, wonderful guide

    My partner and I both enjoyed this ride around San Andres Itzapa and back through Pastores and Jocotenango. Our guide, Pepian, was world class! He is a very strong mountain biker and did a great job leading me (a newbie) and my partner (an experienced MTBer). His English was excellent and he was very knowledgeable about the region. The ride itself was very fun with just the right amount of challenge.

    Response from the operator: We're glad you both were able to enjoy the ride with us and had a good time with Pepian! Thank you for leaving a review, every little bit helps!

    World Class Experience

    Chris, Matt, and the crew at Old Town are world class! Their local knowledge and eagerness to go above and beyond really just took our trip to the next level. I would 100% recomend reaching out to them if you're considering going to Guatemala. Your trip will be that much better because of it.

    Response from the operator: It was a pleasure Drew, glad you and the rest of the crew had a great time in Guatemala! We'll see you next time.

    Nice ride, good guide

    Will is a good guide, i enjoyed his company. The bike provided was too small. With the seat raised to the max, it was too low by a couple inches and this wasn’t discovered till we were at the ride start. I assumed providing my height on the registration form would get me a bike of sufficient size to adjust the seat to the proper height. Also, the difficulty is underrated. I can’t imagine a beginner handling the technical sections of the ride. The physical demands are also probably well beyond a beginner. The climbs would be too long and hard for a beginner because of the altitude starting at 5,000 feet and gaining about 1,000 more.

    Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.

    How much does Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version cost?

    +

    Prices start at $62 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.

    Is Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Antigua?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Antigua?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Antigua?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; and Mountain Bike, Helmet. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Las Tierras Altas "Lujo" Version offered in?

    +
