Francisco was our very pleasant English speaking biking tour guide in Tilcara. We met at his family’s restaurant where he explained in detail how the tour would occur. He was very good at adjusting the bikes to ensure our safety. The bikes were in very good condition and of good quality. Since Francisco grew up in Tilcara he was very informative on the history of the area. He made us feel comfortable asking questions and did not rush the conversation. The ride was through town for a short time and then on rural roads after that. At one point we were riding through a sandy/rocky riverbed which I found difficult. He was quick to discuss an alternative route which I was more comfortable riding. Thank you Francisco for sharing your town with us. We both enjoyed our time with you.
High adrenaline / Great tour

My mom and I greatly enjoyed our bike trip! Our guide Fran had great knowledge of the surrounding areas history and geography. The bikes were solid quality and the trail was exciting and passed through towns, the river, some steeper sections, and more!

Highly recommended, to get to know the surroundings of Tilcara with a Guide that tells you about the characteristics of the place. It is done in a group and is super cute to go places that would not otherwise be known. I highly recommend it!

Very good experience! Fran is a genius and the bikes are in excellent condition. We were left wanting to take the tour to the Salinas, which, due to climatic factors, was not possible. Super recommended!
Francisco!

Francisco was our favorite guide on a 3 week trip. I would absolutely book with him again next time we’re in Tilcara.

It was a perfect outing with Francisco. He knows how to adapt the activity to each person’s skills. Its material is of very good quality. He doesn't count his time. His knowledge of the region allowed us to better understand the formation of the relief and the way of life of the inhabitants of the region. His English is very good. We recommend this activity.
Excellent mountain bike outing

We had a great time with Francisco, a professional and competent mountain bike guide. He was able to adapt the level of the outing according to the abilities of the participants. His general knowledge of the region and its inhabitants gave us a better understanding of the landscapes and the local way of life. He answered all our questions without counting the time.
A must-do in Tilcara!
