The entire circuit can't be done by bike. The first climb and the last descent are very dangerous and even dangerous, as are the ravines in both sections. Loose rocks, slippery mud, and very steep. The only bike path is from km 6 to km 12. A beautiful ride!

It’s not possible to complete the circular route, the last part is impassible, it takes you up a dry stream bed full of boulders and incredibly steep, a mission to climb it !!! Lovely apart from that.

Cool mountain town in the center of the crater caldera of an extinguished volcano. The crater rim is only for hiking, but the paved road crosses it in two, pretty steep climbs. Great weather, thermal hot springs, gravel mountain roads and a few bikeable trails to anybody's heart's delight. Spectacular views, rainbows, and good food also helped make the town a popular home for US retirees and other expats, which led to an above-average development of infrastructure, including dedicated bike lanes and bridges along the main road, missing even in bigger towns, like Panama City.

It's best to ask in advance whether it is open. Unfortunately it was closed today (Monday).

At this point you enter the El Gaital Trail. Jungle dwellers and an extraordinary flora await you on the way.
