- Difficulty Level
Level 2
XLevel 1: Occasional
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain with a few small hills—all very manageable for people trying their first biking trip.
Walking – 6-10 km (4-6 mi.) a day on country lanes, footpaths and coastal or forest trails, all on relatively flat terrain, perhaps with an occasional hill.
Level 2: Recreational
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Level 3: Enthusiast
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Level 4: Avid
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Level 5: Expert
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
The Land of the Mayas
Explore the ancient Maya ruins of Merida and its surrounds, soaking in the incredible history of the towering temples and religious sites. Venture into the jungle on an off-the-beaten-path cycling expedition toward Homun, far from the typical tourist routes. Cool off in a fairytale limestone cenote (swimming hole), then continue to the bright yellow streets of colonial Izamal. Wrap up in Tulum at the luxurious Hotel Esencia for some beach time and forays along the coast. You’ve never seen Mexico like this before.

Hotels
Chablé Resort & Spa, Tablaje
This recently-built piece of paradise was once a Spanish hacienda, a feature kept notably intact throughout its design. Renowned for its striking architecture and Mexican fare, Chablé is consistently rated one of the top hotels in the world. Enjoy your private casita, and don’t forget to take a dip in the cenote or visit the super sleek and zen spa. View hotel website »
The Lodge at Chichen Itza, Pisté
Mere minutes from the Chichén Itzá Archaeological Park, the Lodge at Chichen offers its guests exclusive entrance to the site. Inspired by Maya Casitas, its bungalows were all hand-built using local materials and feature mahogany furnishings, thatched roofs and stained-glass windows. Find respite from the heat by one of the three outdoor pools or by basking in the tropical breeze from your bungalow’s hammock. View hotel website »
Hotel Esencia, Quintana Roo
Originally built as a winter retreat for an Italian Duchess, it’s easy to feel like royalty here; with 40 villas set upon a massive stretch of private beach, it may feel like you have the entire resort to yourself. Indulge in the organic spa, stretch out beneath the sunrise with some morning yoga and dine at one of its three fabulous outdoor restaurants. View hotel website »
I don’t know how B&R does it – the quality of their trips is so consistently high! Just when we think they couldn’t do anything as good as our last trip, they do! Another fantastic experience with B&R.
