More Trails
If you are a real hiking enthusiast – or a mountain biker – and are looking for additional trails to explore during your sojourn in Oaxaca, we recommend you check out our sister web site for mountain bikers: www.OaxacaMTB.org. There you will find dozens of additional trails, many of which are every bit as much fun on foot as on a mountain bike. Fact is, many of the trails in the hiking program were first explored aboard a bike.
