Why join this tour

Colombia’s coffee region is an amalgamation of hues of green, blue and gold. At Arriba, we created this road cycling tour as an introduction to riding in Colombia and experiencing its culture: challenging enough to feel like a proper cycling adventure, but with more room to take everything in.

The climbs are more accessible than on our advanced tours, taking you through the landscapes that inspired Encanto: lush mountains, coffee farms, quiet roads and colorful towns. The riding is fundamental, we just don’t make everything about the bike.

The set up is unsurpassed. Air carries the scent of fertile, deep-black soil, and sunlight that gently warms without burning. Around every corner, the mountains and valleys remind you why Colombia has become such a remarkable destination for cyclists.

Along the way, we ride through Filandia and Salento, explore the Cocora Valley, and pass beneath its towering wax palms, completing the iconic landscape of Colombia’s Coffee Region.

Is it for you?

Built for cyclists who want to discover Colombia by bike, without making the entire trip about the bike.

You ride regularly and want a proper cycling challenge, but you’d rather have some time to enjoy the coffee farms, mountain views, colorful towns and good food along the way. The riding is real, the climbs are part of the experience, but there’s more room to slow down and take Colombia in.

For everyday cyclists, weekend riders, or anyone looking for a meaningful challenge without going all-in on the demands of our more advanced tours, this might be your perfect ride.

In a Nutshell

  • Want to explore Colombia on a bike.
  • You ride regularly and aren’t afraid of climbing.
  • You enjoy challenging yourself, but don’t need every day to be a sufferfest.
  • You want time for towns, food, coffee and the landscape.
  • You’re looking for your first multi-day cycling adventure in Colombia.

Highlights of this trip

As sweet as the coffee

Imagine pedaling through the Coffee Region, where every curve of the road carries the same sweetness as the beans rooted in its soil.

A World Painted in Color

Forests breathing deep green, towns shimmering in vibrant hues, landscapes that seem to pulse with life itself. We ride through Filandia and Salento, two of the Coffee Region’s most distinctive towns, and into the landscapes that have made this corner of Colombia famous.

The Perfect Introduction

With days averaging 50 km (30 mi) and 1,200 m (4,000 ft) of climbing, the route finds its balance — for some a welcomed challenge, for others a flowing ride through the emerald folds of Colombia.

Premium service, Premium accommodation

Every detail is thoughtfully arranged. From the staff to the accommodation and the food, you’ll feel cared for both on and off the bike, letting conversation linger seamlessly at night.

The warm embrace

Feel that glow inside, whether from the sun gently toasting your skin or the genuine warmth of smiling locals. What you’ll take home isn’t empty KOMs, but a sweetness that lingers long after the ride.

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!
