About Us

We’re the firestarters.

We want to be the instigators of adventures that stay with you forever. We use Colombia’s mountains, bikes and physical challenges as the canvas for that — and a job well done for us is hearing that a tour with us was the farthest somebody has ever gone, or the highest they’ve ever climbed. It’s the lasting friendships we create over dinner, reliving the day’s shared experiences. That’s where we feel we’re at our best.

Our Mantra

Safe, tired, happy.

in that order

Safe, because everyone needs to finish the day in one piece. Tired as we want to live boldly the adventure life is
with no reservation. Happy is the cherry on top. Its being safe and tired, plus a little more comfort and connection after a hard effort.

I had an amazing experience with Tomás. He knows Bogota’s hills by heart and cycling is his passion. Both the climbs and the descent were absolutely spectacular!

Great daily tour with Tomas during my short stay in Bogotá. Everything was well organized, good bike, and he took time to find a nice Jersey for me :) Communication in English was perfect too. I highly recommend his tours and services.

I was in Bogota for work and reached out ahead of time to see if I could go a short trip. I only had three days so was thinking just day trips from Bogota. Tomás and Cyclota instead shortened the usual 4 day tour for me and I got to get in big, classic climbs and ride beautiful roads with amazing accommodations. It was way more than I could have hoped for. I never would have been able to stitch such a three day trip together with really unique accommodations and great food like that in my own. No way. Oscar and Camilo were fun and super supportive without smothering. It made everything safe and easier for me after a busy work week with no time to have prepare for this. I also borrowed a bike which was excellent and always in tip top shape. Easy, fun, rewarding, and tasty! Will definitely try to make it back.

My spouse and I have cycled all over the world, and Colombia was on our bucket list. Tomas and Cyclota did an amazing job communicating with us and customizing our 7-day tour, riding Bogota area 1 day plus the "La Colonizacion" tour from Medellin. Our guided tour was fantastic in every way. Our cycling guide, Paola, speaks fluent English and is very knowledgeable about the plant and animal life, and the history and culture of all the areas. Oscar, our driver, is a very kind man with an amazing sense of humor. He selected our cafe's for lunch and restaurants each night and all were amazing local and international cuisine. The tours were full of incredible scenery and climbs, and the highlight was our stay high up a mountain ridge near Salgar, La Manchuria coffee farm. All accommodations were lovely and comfortable. The rental bikes were very good quality bicycle that Tomas arranged. All our needs were taken care of from meeting the team at the Bogota airport until we said farewell in Medellin.

Excelente lugar para hacer ciclismo y ver la ciudad de Bogotá desde lo alto, los paisajes son de pelicula, pueblos tipicos con montañas y un clima de 15 grados centígrados, en mi opinión es un paraíso.

Visiting Bogotá and hoping to ride up a hill, I got in touch with Cyclota and on less than a day's notice I was riding up Patios with Tomás. Great bike, great guide. I'm in just barely good enough shape for this ride, and Tomás was supportive and inspiring. I am still working on my Spanish so it helped that he is fluent in English. My only regret is I only get one day on this trip to go out for a ride!
