Planning a cycling adventure in Colombia but not sure which tour is right for you? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. With a variety of breathtaking routes designed for beginners, intermediates, and advanced cyclists, there’s something for everyone.

1. Know Your Riding Level

Understanding your cycling level is the first step. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each category means on our tours:

Not sure where you fit? Our team is here to help you figure it out!

  • Beginner: Ideal if you’re newer to cycling or just looking for an easygoing adventure. These tours are designed for shorter distances and gentler terrain, allowing you to soak in Colombia’s beauty at a relaxed pace.
  • Intermediate: If you ride regularly and enjoy a good mix of challenges and leisurely moments, intermediate tours offer a balance of climbs, flat stretches, and incredible views.
  • Advanced: These are for seasoned cyclists who thrive on steep climbs, long days in the saddle, and pushing their limits. Think of iconic climbs like Alto de Letras or challenging routes through the Andes.

2. Think About Your Travel Companions

Are you riding solo, with fellow cyclists, or bringing non-cyclists along? Here’s how to adapt your adventure:

  • Cycling Groups: If everyone’s a cyclist, we can recommend a tour that matches the group’s overall skill level.
  • Mixed Groups: For groups with cyclists and non-cyclists, we can design itineraries that include cultural activities, food tours, or spa days for those not riding.
  • Couples: If you’re traveling with a partner, we can combine cycling routes with shared cultural experiences like coffee tours or cooking classes.

Our goal is to make sure everyone in your group has an amazing time, whether they’re on a bike or exploring Colombia in other ways.

3. Customize Your Adventure

Not every cyclist’s dream tour is on the schedule—and that’s okay! At Arriba Travel, we love creating tailored trips that match your abilities, interests, and availability. Whether it’s adjusting a route to include more climbing or crafting a slower-paced tour to focus on sightseeing, we’ve got you covered.

Tell us what excites you:

  • A mix of cycling and cultural immersion?
  • Exploring specific regions like the coffee country or Caribbean coast?
  • Fitting the adventure into your fitness goals?
