Tour Itinerary:

Day 1:

After prepared the equipment and bikes, we start a 4WD to Jaji, with notorious differences in the ecosystems, passing beside Las Gonzales Waterfall, and if we are lucky, hear some monkeys around. Arriving to this colonial town with stone streets, we have the first experience on the bikes, descending through Xerophytes Valley, until arrive to the typical Trapiche, to see how local people works with sugar cane, and prepare Natural sugar, call Papelón. Keep going to visit the Urao Lagoon, the only one in South America with sodium contents in the water. Afterwards, we take a winding switchback road with a breathtaking view, ascending from 460 m to 2,290 m. Finally we arrive to San José, charming town lost in time. We spend the night at an idyllic Andean chalet with trout ponds.

Day 2:

After breakfast, bikes descending into the beautiful valley of Tostos either on horse or by foot with mule support enjoying the surroundings of eucalyptus trees and beautiful rivers. Here we will have direct contact with the villagers. Around, farmers grind their corn by hand in order to make the “arepa" (typical bread in Venezuela) over a wood-fed fire. Going back to San Jose for lunch and a brief rest. If you didn’t find horseback riding exciting enough, we’ll do mountain biking downhill, once there you have optional exciting activities as Paragliding! We will return to Mérida.
