Do you require experience?

It requires experience, however it is a light pedaling, ideal for starting.

Do we pedal with a backpack or saddlebag?

We pedal without saddlebags, you can carry a small backpack, to carry water, shelter and some energy.

Can I do it with a non-MTB bike?

Due to the geography of the land, we do not recommend it. The bicycle that we recommend for the tour is a Mountain Bike, with front shock absorption, of good quality and in good condition.

Can I rent a bicycle to do it? I have a mtb but it is not that good.

We do not recommend it, we request your own bicycle.

In principle, it does serve us as a parameter that in your city you go out pedaling and you will have some previous training. It is also important that you are comfortable and that you know her. In case of chatting with us, tell us about your experience and training, if you do not have a suitable mtb or for reasons of travel distance we can evaluate the rental of a bicycle.
