For all those who have been riding the Copper Canyon region with us over the decades, here is a new expedition-class event that offers even greater riding pleasures. The mountains of northern Mexico just south of the city of Monterrey are as imposing and dramatic as you will find anywhere. Range after range of jagged peaks hide secluded green valleys and broad seasonal rivers. Forests of pines and miles of Baja-like Yucca sprawling across the arid Altiplano make up the unusual flora. The road ultimately takes you high into the mountains and the Colonial-era mining town of Reál de Catorce, which is experiencing a renaissance after years of near dormancy.
No one knows Mexico like we do! If you like your travel experience with a hint of adventure and challenge, join us on the Road to Reál!
Highlights
- Just being in Old Mexico is a highlight. Those who have joined us over the years continually comment on the special kindness of the people and the charm of the traditions and customs. On a ride with MotoDiscovery you can count on having more than just a great ride. You’ll discover the real Mexico and come to love it as we have.
- Reál de Catorce has the feel of a high Andean colonial town in Bolivia. At over 9,000 feet, it is remote, the cobblestone streets and rock walls ooze with intrigue and history. The Huichole Indians travel hundreds of miles to the surrounding hills to fulfill their shamanistic rituals. The hills are covered with Peyote, a mind-altering stimulant integral to their traditions and lifestyle. Other riches were found here too by ambitious Spanish colonists who by 1772 were tapping into veins of silver ore and gold.
- The ride, the ride, the ride. Let the MotoDiscovery video and photo album tell the story.
