5 Days - Classic-Tour
On this tour you have it (nearly) all - in only 5 days.
Jungle, Colonial Towns,
Mexico’s Biggest Lake,
High Volcanoes and Beautiful Beaches.
This is a 5-Days-Classic-Tour for people who want to see as much as possible of beautiful Mexico in just 5 days. There is the option to extend the tour to 6 or 7 days.
This tour is only on paved and cobblestone roads. You don’t need off road experience. But the bike has to be well controlled on winding mountain roads.
It’s also possible to do this tour with a pillion rider (passenger).
Please note: We want to ride in a relaxed environment and not race. Our mission at Bike-Mexico is for everyone to enjoy the ride at a comfortable pace and insure a stress-free experience. This allows everyone to enjoy and truly take in this beautiful country. We focus and always insure there is enough time to stop, enjoy the scenery and take some memorable pictures or videos.

Tour Itinerary
1. Day
Puerto Vallarta - San Sebastián del Oeste - Mascota - Talpa de Allende
Starting at Bike Mexico we ride to Puerto Vallarta and then directly into the mountains passing through different vegetation zones. We stop and visit the old colonial village of San Sebastián del Oeste (Altitude 1400 m / 4600 feet). Leaving the village behind, we ride on spectacular curvy mountain roads up to more than 1800 m / 5900 feet towards the small old colonial town of Mascota (1240 m / 4000 feet).
After our lunch break we ride to Talpa de Allende, a famous and very important town for Catholic pilgrims. We have time to explore the wonderful colonial center with its plaza, awe-inspiring church and enjoy the special atmosphere on the streets in the evening.
2. Day
Talpa de Allende – Ameca - Tequila
From Talpa de Allende we ride on spectacular roads with hundreds of twisting curves to the old colonial town of Ameca (1230 m / 4000 feet). We have time for a snack and visit the historical city center with its wonderful market and colonial buildings. We leave Ameca on a secondary but good road and cross a mountain range (1800 m / 5900 feet) before we arrive at our destination, Tequila. There we visit the world famous tequila distillery "José Cuervo". After the visit we have time to walk around the streets and experience the history and culture of this special place. And if you like, try some of the various tequilas. We stay overnight in a conveniently located hotel in the colonial Center of Tequila.
3. Day
Tequila – Lake Chapala - Mazamitla
We will have breakfast at the beautiful market in the old town of Tequila. We leave Tequila and cross the fertile farming land of the Mexican highlands and can visit (that’s optional) the prehispanic archaeological site “Los Guachimontones” with its unique round pyramids. Later we ride to “Lago Chapala”. The lake, situated at about 1500 m/5000 ft. is the biggest lake of all Mexico. After lunch we ride further to Mazamitla, 2250 m/7400 ft. With its wooden houses, the town looks like we are in Switzerland or Austria. Here we stay over night.
4. Day
Mazamitla – Colima – Comala – Manzanillo – Barra de Navidad
We leave Mazamitla and descend on twisty mountain roads. On our way to Colima we will have awesome views over the Volcano Colima and the Nevado de Colima (4260m/14000ft), which in wintertime can be snow-capped. We have lunch at another Pueblo Mágico (Magic Village), Comala. After a lunch break we are heading further towards the Pacific Ocean and it gets warmer again. We pass Manzanillo with its important port, before we reach our destination, Barra de Navidad.
5. Day
Barra de Navidad – Costa Alegre
We ride north and explore some of the beautiful beaches, bays and fishing villages on our way. We will have our lunch break at a beautiful lake/dam, called Cajon de Peña. After lunch we ride back to Bike Mexico and visit some nice places on our way home.
