The Machete Trail is one of the most popular and fun trails in the area. The trail is very varied with different types of difficulties and terrains.

In the initial part there are some steep technical curves and after a narrow road you dive on a short but not easy stony ground to be tackled carefully.

After a sloping ground, the most flowy part begins, full of curves and with some counter-slopes. After a steep channel and a short slight slope the “playground” begins. It is a series of banked and not, very fun curves, which lead to the fast end stretch (it is strongly recommended to slow down near the houses).
In the more technical and difficult sections, there is an easier line (the Tofu Line) which makes the Machete route feasible even for the less experienced riders.

Thanks to the Tofu Line it is possible to ride the trail even in wet conditions even if, in this case, an expert guide is required.
