About MTB DS

MTB Down South (MTB DS) is a company born out of pure passion for mountain biking. We have traveled extensively around the world in search of the sickest trails, and we know exactly what it takes to create an epic MTB adventure. We take care of all the planning, transportation, and logistics for you. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the ride. 

We prioritize the stoke factor, sending it full-speed down challenging features and demanding terrain. The level we ride at is intermediate to experienced, and we adjust to the group’s needs. 

MTB DS has a network of local guides, local parks, and local vendors that make for an authentic and unforgettable MTB Experience. 

We love the rush of the trails, advancing our skills, and supporting each other to reach new heights. Wanna join us?

Meet the founders

Andres Felipe (AF) and Maria Paulina (MP) are avid travelers, adventure seekers, and nature lovers. They fell in love on a bike, got engaged on an MTB adventure, and honeymooned in La Patagonia, of course, on a bike. Mountains and bikes are kind of their thing. 

Both were born in Colombia, raised in the U.S., and have been living in Mexico since 2022. Since moving to Mexico City, they have been blown away by the MTB community, trail infrastructure and gnarly terrain… not to mention its rich history, delicious food, and vibrant culture. 

This is why they decided to make this the first-ever MTB DS destination offered.

After visiting world-class bike parks like Whistler, Highland, and Killington and riding crazy trails in La Patagonia, Moab and Cusco, among others, they would always come back to Latin America and feel so lucky to be living here, where the same level of riding is available YEAR-ROUND. 

It was this realization that inspired them to  map out their favorite local trails, build the most epic itineraries, and share them with the world. 

In summary, AF and MP are a married couple who eat, sleep and breathe mountain biking, and they want to share it with YOU.
