Ride Description  
Ratings   Media Gallery  

Historically accurate dual-purpose-bike adaptation of the legendary 1519 march of Hernan Cortes and the spaniards from their landing site in the Gulf Of Mexico all the way to the Aztec capital of Thenochtitlan to in the exact place where Cortez met the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II.

Experience history in first-person with this 3-day, 700km and 5-State ride arriving at the same places and in the same sequence that the spanish conquistador crossed 5 centuries ago trough the same breathtaking landscapes. From tarmac to gravel paths, from sea level up to 3,700 metres in the famous Cortez Pass between two of the largest volcanoes in Mexico

Know all the archaeological sites and mesoamerican cities including the three cities called Veracruz (among other spanish towns). Great landscapes around Mexico's 6 highest volcanoes, visit the site where the spaniards landed arriving from Cuba in 1519 and the place where they left in 1825 after the Mexican Independence War. Visit the first town, and the first Church ever built in the American Continent, also the first Hospital, even the hidden place where Cortez is buried in Mexico.

A great ride to fully understand the fall of the Aztec Empire and conquest of Mexico.
