Ultimate Chiapas Dual Sport Adventure

Sorry, we don't have any dates scheduled for this tour at the moment. Keep checking this page for updates, or contact us and let us know you want to go!


Until Chiapas has the COVID-19 pandemic under control and all sites are reopened and safe, we will not be offering this tour. Stay tuned!!

The Mexican state of Chiapas is located in the beautiful, lush mountains. Once or twice a year, Ko’oX Moto trailers some of our fleet down to Palenque to give you the opportunity to experience this beautiful region. On our 10 day tour you’ll see the majestic Mayan ruins of Palenque and Yaxchilan, visit (and swim in) 4-5 magnificent waterfalls and cascades, eat delicious regional cuisine, go on a boat ride down the beautiful Usumacinta River, and more!

Palenque Ruins

*THIS TOUR WILL COVER 800+ MILES, SOME PAVEMENT, BUT A LOT OF DIRT/GRAVEL. While nothing is extremely difficult for an intermediate dirt rider, you do need to be comfortable and alert on rough roads with unpredictable obstacles ranging from sudden potholes to chickens or piglets. If you're an experienced road rider with little or no dirt experience, we'd suggest our Northern Yucatan tour, or if you have 3+ riders of similar abilities, we can customize a tour in Chiapas for you!

To keep the adventure on pace, we are limiting this to 5 riders.

We also have a support vehicle that transports our luggage.

You will be riding a 2018 Suzuki DR650. Each bike has had the suspension revalved and sprung, carb kits and air box mods, and we’ve added bar risers and lowered pegs for ultimate comfort. We’ve replaced stock seats with Seat Concept commuter seats and larger Acerbis gas tanks, rear racks and rally style windshields.

Our home base in Palenque is a moto friendly hotel, with helmet and gear hooks, plenty of space to unpack and relax, your own hammock and veranda, gorgeous vistas overlooking the mountains and a heavenly pool. You can have your laundry done here as well!
