Ruta del Jefe's goal is to connect a community of like-minded individuals through a greater sense of understanding of the places they ride, raise money for local organizations, and create life-long advocates for the borderlands.
The Ruta del Jefe gathering will occur on the unceded ancestral lands of the Ópata and N'dee/N'nee/Ndé.
We acknowledge them as the first peoples of these lands in which we have the privilege to visit, learn from, ride in, and share community.
