This enduro mountain bike tour explores the hidden trails that lie in the heart of the Andean mountains. This tour is geared for riders who want to trace their way along awesome single tracks that connect old colonial villages and experience great descents.
The Andes mountains in Colombia are the home of single tracks that consist of up to 30 km of length of pure descent and trails with vertical drops of more than 2000 meters. We will start our tour in the eje cafetero, a special place with a very calm landscape filled with coffee plantations and colonial houses but flanked by dramatic mountains.
This area is the home of the Enduro World Series in Manizales, and we will ride some of those trails. Our final destination is the Medellin area, with the beautifully preserved pueblo Santa Fe de Antioquia and we will visit the trails of the National Cup competition in Santa Barbara. Our Enduro mountain bike tour is the best way to discover this area of Colombia to the fullest. You will be surprised more than a few times as the scenery will change multiple time over the course of the tour.

THE ROAD TO ADVENTURE
- Day 1: Arrival Pereira
We will pick you up in the Pereira International Airport and transfer to the city of Manizales. It’s about a 1-hour drive. We would love for you to arrive in the morning so we can put the bicycle together in the afternoon and stretch the legs in the afternoon /early night (bring your lights). Alternatively,...
- Day 2: Manizales
If you weren’t able to put together your bicycle the previous day, we will do this first thing in the morning after some great breakfast. After that, we will transfer just outside of town (20 minutes) and start riding in some of the most unique places you can think of. Surrounded by coffee plantations, and...
- Day 3: Manizales
Take a look at a map and just check the immense mountains that Colombia has. Well, that’s also a call for an adventure. Today might be the most adventurous ride of the whole trip. Starting around 3000 mts (9500 ft broadly), we will find our way over a series of different tracks way below the...
- Day 4: Eje Cafetero
After the gigantic ride we did the previous day it only makes sense to have a calmer day for today. We will have a slower morning, waking up to the beautiful sounds of the birds, the trees, that cohabit with the coffee plantation. After this slow start we will ride in the middle of these...
- Day 5: Santa Barbara
Changing the landscape slightly, the day begins with a transfer of about 1 hours to where the action takes place. It’s a series of trails that are put together as a clover leaf, with the center in the town of Santa Barbara. It’s going to be a change too as the whole environment is sunnier....
- Day 6: Medellin
Another opportunity for the epic. After breakfast we will leave Medellín for the day, and head west into the big mountains searching for another dramatic drop in elevation. In this case it’s going to be close to 3000 mts of vertical descending almost in one go. It’s about 5 hours of continuous riding as we...
- Day 7: Santa Fe de Antioquia
Another location, another environment. In this case it could be mistaken for a desert with the arid nature of the surrounding trails around Santa Fe de Antioquia, in which we will take this opportunity to explore this time. Compared to the previous days, the terrain change will make things different to our previous experiences and...
- Day 8: Explore Medellin
After exploring the nightlife of Medellin it is only fair to enjoy a rest day, and see what the city of eternal spring has to offer during the daytime. Wonder around in the small streets of Poblado or see the legacy of local artist Botero.
- Day 9: Farewell
After a week of great riding it’s time to say goodbye. We will take you back to the airport to catch your flight back home.

A few words from our customer
Accommodation
The hotels we stay are boutique hotels that are enhance the whole experience. They also tell the story we want to share with you about Colombia. Running the tour that features the best of Colombia isn’t only about the route. Being a cycling holiday the hotels are just as important and we want you to take home also treasured moments of relaxation as well.
For example, nested in the mountains, a coffee plantation will host us, while your room is surrounded by coffee trees. Wake up to the sound of birds in the middle of the nature. Or get ready for Alto de Letras while the little historic town wakes up and you contemplate the white clad wall of the old mansion you slept in.
In the end, we care for making the time you are with us a treat, a big cycling holiday.
