Cycling in São Paulo and Serra da Mantiqueira

Cycling is one of those rare things that works at every level. A quiet hour on the flat is as valid as a hundred-mile day in the hills, and both leave you better than when you started. The only real decision is how far and how hard.

Road riding is about smooth tarmac and covering ground. Gravel takes you onto tracks and quiet back lanes. E-bikes flatten the hills and bring longer rides within reach for everyone. Whatever you ride, the social side is half the point, and most groups are friendlier than their lycra suggests.

The guides and coaches on adventuro run led rides, skills sessions and tours for all abilities. They will sort your position on the bike and your confidence on the road, which makes the miles a lot more pleasant.
