H+I Adventures
Oaxaca, Mexico
The Deal: Biking and culinary tour
What Makes It Cool: This area of Mexico is more famous for its culinary delights than its mountain biking, but H+I Adventures knows better. Follow forest and mountain trails to small Zapotec villages and meet local craftsman and farmers before filling up on traditional mole dishes and washing it all down with a cup of tejete, a fermented corn- and cacao-based drink. After conquering the famous Sierra Norte, cheers to new friends with a glass of Mezcal, a local spirit made from agave. Select departures coincide with two of the biggest festivals of the year: Semana Santa and El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Mexicans love a fiesta, and no one knows how to party quite like the Oaxaqueños. Rates for this Mexico tour start at $2,550.
Valid for Travel: Trip departs October 26, 2015.
