What’s the experience like?

I was barely awake when Ernesto handed me the helmet — he grinned like he’d seen this a hundred times before. The shop smelled faintly of chain oil and ripe guayaba from the fruit stand next door. Ana fussed over my seat height, then showed me how to use the app for their pre-designed e-bike routes around El Valle de Antón. I’d never tried an electric bike before, so I was a bit nervous about looking ridiculous (spoiler: I did, at first). But honestly, you get used to that gentle push from the motor pretty quick — it’s kind of addictive.

The morning air was cool enough that my hands felt it, but not cold. We set off past painted houses and sleepy dogs, following one of their suggested loops. The main keyword here is freedom — you can go as fast or slow as you want, and the hills don’t really matter anymore. At one point we stopped by a little bakery; Ernesto said something in Spanish to the owner that made her laugh (I caught maybe three words), then handed me a sweet bread roll still warm from the oven. There’s something about eating fresh bread while your bike hums quietly beside you that just feels right.

We passed families waving from porches, kids trying to race us on old bikes (they lost), and even a guy selling orchids out of his pickup. The valley itself is green in a way that almost hurts your eyes — I kept stopping just to look around. The e-bike rental included water and some snacks tucked into my backpack, which sounds small but actually made things easier than I expected. By hour three my legs weren’t tired at all; it’s like cheating but nobody seems to mind here.

I didn’t expect to feel so connected to El Valle de Antón just by riding around on an e-bike, but there’s something about moving at street level with locals waving hello that sticks with you. I still think about that view near the waterfall turnoff — sunlight flickering through palm leaves, quiet except for birds and the low whirr of tires on gravel. If you’re even half-curious about exploring this place differently, well… this is probably how I’d do it again.
