Starting Point: The Self-Service Warehouse

The adventure begins at a self-service warehouse, marked with the M3 Storage Logo. We appreciated how hassle-free the pickup process was: you receive an email with a token to open the door, and the bikes are stored neatly in a kiosk setup. Situated in a strip center with a visible Spid grocery store, it’s easy to locate. This straightforward, contactless system means you can start your ride without unnecessary delays — perfect for travelers with busy schedules or those arriving late in the day.

The Ride to El Durazno Bike Park

Once you have your gear — including helmet, gloves, and knee pads — the journey to the bike park is brief. It’s just a 5-10 minute ride, allowing you to soak in the local atmosphere and get your legs warmed up. The surrounding neighborhood is described as “exclusive” and pleasant, making the approach to the park part of the overall experience.

At El Durazno Bike Park

This bike park is one of South America’s best, offering a variety of trails designed for different levels of experience. Imagine a ski resort during summer, but with no lifts — just a gentle climb on one trail, followed by dozens of downhill runs. The trails are well-signed and maintained, which is a huge plus for safety and navigation.

One of the best features is the assisted electric modes. Climbing is a breeze, whether you’re looking to get to the top quickly or take it slow. The specialized Turbo Levo offers various levels of assistance, so you can customize your ride. Whether you’re in it for a leisurely lap or a more vigorous workout, you can switch modes to match your mood.

The trail layout has a dedicated ascent trail and numerous descents, allowing for multiple laps if you’re up for it. It’s the kind of setup that appeals to riders who love variety — some may prefer easy, flowing trails, while others seek more challenging routes.
