Biking to The Ancient Tule Tree

Tour Description

Oaxaca's FAVORITE ride. A must do while you're here! Join this beautiful and safe bike ride to see the massive and ancient "El Tule" tree, which is famous for being the WIDEST tree in the world. We´ll also see part of the town of "Santa Maria del Tule", its church and its market. We'll meet in downtown Oaxaca. Then, once we are geared up with helmets and bikes, we´ll begin our journey to El Arbol del Tule (45 min. bicycle ride from downtown [10 km or 6 miles one way]). We'll ride on a nice bike lane covered with tree shades for the most part. It's mostly flat. We'll start biking out of the city first, then towards the outskirts with views of beautiful hills, and crop fields. Once we arrive to Santa Maria, we'll go directly to see the amazing El Tule tree, the colorful church and the beautiful lush gardens. Then, we'll go to the food market where we'll spend some time hanging out and getting something to eat and drink. Finally, we'll start our ride back to Oaxaca.
