What to expect
Expect a steady ride over varied mountain terrain with a mix of surfaces—some packed dirt, stretches of rocky ground, and grassy hillsides that require focus. The pace suits all skill levels; your guide will read the group and adjust. You'll spend the majority of the two-and-a-half hours actually riding rather than standing around. The mountains are genuinely beautiful but not manicured; bring water and wear proper kit. No facilities on-site, so plan accordingly.
