This mountain bike tour explores the colonial villages that lie in the heart of the Andean mountains. This tour is geared for cyclists who want to trace their way along century old roads that connect these villages and experience some great single track descents.
The savanna surrounding Bogotá is a special place: It is a huge plateau, a very calm landscape filled with green pastures and flanked by dramatic mountains. Our mountain bike tour trip, ranked easy to intermediate, is one of the best ways to 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.
Our final destination is the beautifully preserved pueblo of Villa de Leyva. We will return to Bogotá with a good deal of knowledge of the savanna and the campesinos in the area.

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.
