If you or your partner are not a mountain biker - don't despair. There's a whole host of things to do at all centre-based holidays and interesting places to visit. We would suggest that Nidri is the better option for non-cycling partners, having plenty of scope for island hopping etc., or alternatively Switzerland - just pack some boots!

 

All our guides are experienced mountain bikers, with a thorough knowledge of each resort. Each UK guide has a recognised first aid qualification and carries a comprehensive first aid kit on all rides. Overseas guides are qualified in their country of origin.

We use accommodation varying from 4 star hotels to mountain refuges. Whilst always trying to choose comfortable accommodation with local character, there are instances where choice is severely limited in remote mountain regions; this all adds to the experience of an adventure holiday and a degree of flexibility is required. In rare circumstances, single occupation may not be available.

For small groups (4-8 persons) we can arrange an exclusive holiday (from 1 to 3 weeks) in any of our locations. Simply let us know when and where and the nature of the group and we will tailor the biking to suit.

We offer mountain biking holidays in some amazing yet remote parts of Latin America, where events are less predictable than in Western Europe, New Zealand or North America. The unexpected can happen, everything from roads and tracks washed away to a cancelled ferry or internal flight. We pride ourselves on selecting unique accommodation with local character and whilst every effort has been made occasionally standards differ from the West. Even with the best planning and organisation, our mountain biking adventure holidays can never be taken for granted like those in, say, Europe. Issues of Health and Safety are taken extremely seriously and some remote areas of Latin America do not have the same quality of emergency services we are perhaps used too. There is a fair degree of responsibility on you to accept this situation when you book with us; if you are not prepared for this, you should not travel to these regions.

This unpredictability also means the trip itineraries we describe for our holidays should be read as statements of intent, not a contractual obligation. Many factors can adversely affect our original plans and in such circumstances we will make any changes that are necessary, after consultations with all concerned. We cannot be held responsible for enforced changes or delays beyond our control, irrespective of how they were caused.
