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.
