Travesia Montecristo Bike Tour

Two days and almost 100 kilometers of rolling Central American hills. Two crappy Bacini bikes—it’s the Guatemalan brand, and the only two bike stores in Copán carry only these bikes. Two sizes fit all—children’s and adults’. The grips tore up our hands, our brakes, seats, headsets, and gears fell apart, but we made it—Copan, Honduras to Esquipulas, Guatemala, then on to Ocotopeque, Honduras.
