    7hr mtb mostly downhill with carlifts.

    Had an amazing day with Coyote Adventures! Carlos took me mountain biking in Ixtepeji—a stunning forest with epic trails. He quickly matched the ride to my level and gave great tips. Arturo, our driver, was super friendly. We even picked wild mushrooms and had a delicious mountain lunch. Highly recommended!

    Unforgettable experience

    Our family of 3 (husband 51, myself 45 and daughter 13) had a pretty amazing mountain biking experience with our guide Victor. Although the 3 of us are not novice mountain bikers we certainly got challenged with this ride, even with electric bikes! A few falls, bumps and bruises, it was still worth the adventure. We had a delish picnic of sourdough bread, PB, jelly, beans, avocado, queso, grasshoppers and coffee. We also walked over 2 extension bridges and up a mountain to an overlook. Both Victor and our driver Jorge were hospitable, made us feel safe and helped us create memories of a lifetime.

    Beware--do not book a tour with this company, they will cancel last minute!

    We are avid mountain bikers from Colorado and wanted to do a mountain bike tour in the Ixtepeji area of Oaxaca to celebrate my wife’s 50thbirthday. We contacted Carlos Coyote in early September and he created a detailed private biking itinerary for us involving 2 nights/3 days of riding in the Sierra Norte with some cultural tours added in, and we paid in full for the trip, over $1600 USD. We started to get concerned when we sent a follow-up message at the beginning of November (after the holiday) and did not get a response. We simply wanted to confirm our trip and ask if we should bring spd pedals, etc. Finally, after many unanswered messages, some other employee replied to our Whatsapp messages with a one-line response confirming that everything was set for our upcoming bike trip. Putting our concerns aside, we were looking forward to the trip, packed all of our bike gear (minus bikes) and made our way to Oaxaca. Last night, 3 days before our mountain bike tour was set to begin, we received a message from Carlos saying that he no longer can do the trip due to “scheduling issues”. After we clearly expressed our frustration, his excuse soon morphed into “your guide has a medical issue”. He then suggested changing the trip to 2 days of hiking, 1 day of mountain biking. Clearly this was not what we wanted to do, so we demanded a refund, which we finally received, but then we were left in the city with all of our bike gear (thank goodness we hadn’t brought our bikes), no bike tour and had to scramble last-minute for lodging over a busy weekend. Not to mention this was supposed to be a celebratory event. My wife and I are both business owners, and you simply to do not let something like this happen. Even if there truly was an unfortunate emergency with the guide, you find someone to replace this person given that your customers have travelled quite far. We asked Carlos why he couldn’t step in to guide in this situation, and he simply said he just couldn’t because he had some family things to do. He expressed very little understanding or remorse. Meanwhile, yesterday evening my husband saw a Coyote Aventuras van parked downtown with tons of bikes on top--so clearly he had bigger fish to fry—and we suspect that the bikes he had promised us for the tour were not available, leading to the cancellation. Apparently this is a pattern with him—claiming he has bikes when he does not. Luckily another (real) mountain bike company in town was able to help us out and organize a 1-day mountain bike tour last-minute. We had considered booking with them in the first place and clearly should have done so. When we went to this shop this morning and started to explain our situation, even before we mentioned the company the owner said immediately, “oh you must have booked with Coyote Aventuras”. So clearly this is a pattern, and other bikers have also been left high and dry. Apparently he also has a tendency to claim that he has bikes available to rent, when in actuality he does not. I write this hoping it will spare other bikers the frustration we just experienced with this unethical company. Why he has all 5 star reviews is a great mystery. What a phony website! This guy should be out of business soon with this type of business ethos.

    Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4047 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Oaxaca City is not rushed.

    Is Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails?

    +

    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 Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails?

    +

    Around 13 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mountain Biking la Cumbre Ixtepeji trails 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. 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 Oaxaca City?

    +

    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 Oaxaca City?

    +

    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.
