Los Barriles Bike Rental
Shop Information
You are looking for an exciting, action-packed and hassle-free Baja Sur vacation where you can practice, learn or improve your favorite adventure sport in the glorious Baja sunshine and scenery. That’s where we come in. From 15th November to 20th March each year our team of dedicated, experienced and friendly personnel are here with one goal in mind – to ensure your vacation not just lives up to but exceeds your expectations.
Vela Baja has promoted mountain biking in the Los Barriles area for more than 20 years. Over that time we have developed a substantial network of trails that are easily accessible directly from town. There are rides to suit all levels of experience, fitness, and ability. The vast majority of trails are relatively technical, single track – designed to challenge intermediates yet still satisfy even the most advanced riders. For riders preferring less technical riding, there are plenty of alternative local options including scenic hill and coastal rides.
Los Barriles is situated right on the Tropic of Cancer where the foothills of the ‘Sierra De La Laguna’ mountains reach the Sea of Cortez. This spectacularly scenic, sparsely populated region of “sub-tropical thorn forest” boasts unpolluted air and a plethora of natural plant, bird and animal life that thrives in the warm, sunny, arid climate.
Rental Information
Vela Baja offers premium mountain bike rentals on half-day (afternoon only) or full-day basis. The fleet exclusively uses Specialized mountain bikes in a full range of sizes. In our bike fleet we have the Stumpjumper Comp as well as the Camber Comp models, which boast full front and rear suspension, 29” wheels and automated pneumatic seat drop posts. Pedals are fitted with flats as standard but you may bring your own if desired.
