Meeting Point

Welcome, Adventurer!
Join us for a full-throttle escape to one of Chiapas’ most serene natural springs — El Vertedor. This tour is built for independent travellers who crave freedom, fresh air, and unforgettable moments with new friends. Ride through mountain roads, pause at a hidden gem, and plunge into crystalline waters.
Why join this tour?
Because it’s the perfect blend of thrill, tranquility, and social vibes — with a motorbike beneath you, a turquoise spring ahead, and a cold beer waiting at the end.
Tour Overview
Meet your group at La Fortaleza Hostel, where a travel-friendly breakfast wrap is available for purchase to fuel your adventure.
Your guide will lead a safety briefing and tour overview, making sure everyone knows what to expect and feels confident on the road.
At 9:30AM sharp, we hit the road — cruising through the Chiapan highlands toward El Vertedor, with scenic rest stops along the way perfect for stretching your legs and snapping a few photos.
We arrive at El Vertedor by 12PM, where you’ll have three full hours to swim in crystalline waters, explore the bubbling spring source, and enjoy a packed lunch prepared by the hostel.
After the return ride — with another rest stop to hydrate and regroup — we roll back into La Fortaleza around 5PM, where a free beer awaits you at the rooftop bar. Stick around for dinner, karaoke, and the kind of social magic that only a full-day adventure can spark.
