The Party Caravan
by TranSierra Norte
No Stress, Just Trails and Good Times
Concept:
a biking experience and event designed for advanced and intermediate mountain bikers who want to immerse themselves in the thrill of a multi-day enduro race without the physical and technical demands of competition.
This unique adventure takes you along the same legendary trails as the TranSierra Norte race but with a twist: no pedaling is required on the transfers, as shuttles handle all the uphill transportation.
To elevate the experience, we’ve infused each day with party vibes, entertainment, and a vibrant celebration of Oaxaca’s ancient culture, blending its rich flavors, traditions, and hospitality into every moment of this unforgettable biking event.
The Ride:
You will be guided by talented, English-speaking local riders. To ensure the quality and safety of your rides, one guide will be assigned to every four participants. TranSierra Norte's mountain bike head guides are expert-level riders with first aid certification.
They will ensure the excitement stays high and that you have the best time riding the incredible singletracks that the TranSierra Norte team has been discovering and building for past and upcoming race editions.
What To Expect?
immerse yourself in the mountain biking adventure of a lifetime in the southeastern region of Mexico. Oaxaca City, located in the Central Valleys region at 1,500 meters above sea level, is renowned for its incredible hospitality, colorful streets, and historic XVI-century downtown. Alongside its warm weather, you’ll find delicious restaurants, bars, museums, galleries, markets, and more.
Just above the city lies one of Oaxaca’s eight regions, the Sierra Norte, where your two-wheeled adventure will take you. You’ll ride through extraordinary singletrack trails historically used by the Zapotec culture to connect mountain communities and other regions. These trails start at elevations up to 3,000 meters above sea level and stretch 7–11 km long, with over 900 meters of elevation loss per trail. While most rides are shuttle-assisted, you’ll still need to pedal through short transfers within the forest.
The variety of terrain in the Sierra Norte is one of the features that makes it a world-class mountain biking destination. You’ll begin in a lush pine forest with loamy dirt and transition seamlessly into sections with short brush trees and rocky, loose soil, all within the same trail.
This idea was born from the desire to share experiences and connect with riders from around the world who share the same passion, in an atmosphere that feels similar to a race, but with a more relaxed approach.
