The ride starts high in the Sierra de Santa Rosa de Lima, the same mountain range that shelters Guanajuato City, and descends roughly 25 kilometers down to the historic center — a genuine point-to-point route rather than a there-and-back loop. Along the way it passes through Monte de San Nicolás, a real mining settlement whose history stretches back to the 17th century. By the 18th century, at the height of the region's silver boom, Monte de San Nicolás had at least four recorded working mines of its own — Santa Úrsula, La Asunción, La Trinidad, and La Cruz — all noted as highly productive at the time. Today it's a tiny community of around 70 families, its old workings largely reclaimed by the hillside, and it has become a genuine local spot for mountain biking and hiking rather than ore extraction.
Further down the descent, the route passes the Presa de la Mata, a reservoir that still supplies part of Guanajuato City's municipal water today. Its storage level is tracked closely by local authorities and has swung from as low as roughly 37% capacity during a past drought year to nearly full after a strong rainy season — a reminder that this is working water infrastructure, not just scenery. From there, the ride joins Guanajuato's real panoramic road, the route that circles the city along the surrounding hilltops and is the standard vantage point locals and visitors use for views over the city's colorful rooftops and church domes spread across the valley below.
The final stretch brings you into Guanajuato's famous alleys and underground tunnels — streets built where a river once ran through the city center, since diverted beneath the historic district through an infrastructure project begun in 1963. Finishing a mountain descent by riding straight into this genuinely unusual street layout is one of the more distinctive ways to feel how Guanajuato's terrain has shaped the city itself.
