Ride Through Colombia’s Coffee Heartland

Nestled between the central and western branches of the Andes and nourished by the Cauca River, Colombia’s coffee region is a place where tradition, culture, and breathtaking landscapes come together. Rolling plantations stretch across sun-drenched mountains, charming towns burst with vibrant colors, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingers in the air—this is the essence of Colombia’s coffee country.

On this unforgettable cycling tour, you’ll be immersed in the region’s hypnotic beauty. Ride through emerald-green fields, past colonial villages, and under skies painted in shades of gold, violet, and indigo. Here, the phrase Carpe Diem takes on new meaning—this is a place where seizing the moment isn’t just an idea, but a way of life.

The ride itself is an artful balance of Colombia’s legendary cycling routes and moments of relaxed exploration. Just when you think you’ve experienced it all, another wonder awaits—a historic hacienda, its doors open in welcome. The scent of wood and coffee fills the air, the golden afternoon light drapes the hills, and warm-hearted locals greet you with a smile.

This is more than a bike tour. It’s a journey of the senses, a ride through a land where passion, tradition, and adventure come together in perfect harmony.

Accommodations: A Stay to Remember

Throughout the journey, we’ll stay in carefully selected locations that enhance your experience and immerse you in Colombia’s rich culture. Our accommodations range from beautifully restored coffee haciendas, where history and elegance blend seamlessly, to boutique inns tucked away in the forest. On occasion, we may stay in simpler lodgings—always clean, comfortable, and full of small-town charm. No matter where you rest your head, each stay is chosen to add something special to your adventure.

Equipment: Bring Your Own or Rent the Best

We encourage guests to bring their own bicycles and recommend having them serviced by a mechanic before the trip to ensure they’re in top condition. If you bring your own bike, consider packing any essential replacement parts you might need while traveling.

For those who prefer to rent, we offer high-performance Argon 18 Krypton road bikes, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. Please bring your helmet, gloves, and full riding gear. If renting, a helmet will be provided, but you’ll need to bring your own shoes. If you use clipless pedals, don’t forget to pack them, along with a mount for your cycling computer if you plan to track your rides.

Support Vehicle: Ride Light, Ride Strong

Our support vehicles are an essential part of the experience, carrying snacks, drinks, and gear so you can ride unburdened. They’re also there whenever you need a break. One vehicle is equipped with a high-end bike carrier to ensure safe transport of all bicycles.

Packing & Luggage

To keep things simple and efficient, we recommend bringing one main piece of luggage plus a small day bag. Your day bag will be easily accessible in the main cabin, while your larger bag will be securely stored.

Weather: Be Ready for Anything

Colombia enjoys a mild, cycling-friendly climate year-round, but mountain weather can be unpredictable. Expect temperatures ranging from 9°C - 30°C (48°F - 86°F), with occasional rain showers. Packing for a variety of conditions will ensure you’re ready for anything the road brings.

At the heart of our cycling experience is a commitment to care, both on and off the bike. We believe in nurturing all your senses, making each moment count.

Let’s start with our guides—the most visible part of our team. With a high guide-to-guest ratio, you’ll have a trusted wingman to tackle the climbs, engage in insightful conversations to ease the pain, or simply help deepen the experience. Our guides are more than just experts at getting you from A to B; they come from diverse backgrounds and life paths, bringing something personal and special to every ride. We carefully select them not only for their skill but for their ability to enrich your journey. Cherish these moments.

On the road, our support crew is always ready to serve with a smile. Whether it’s filling your water bottle, offering a banana or energy bar, or serving you a cup of coffee, their warmth and attentiveness are part of the experience. It’s the legendary Colombian hospitality that our riders rave about long after the tour ends. Two support vehicles will be alongside, ensuring everything runs smoothly and making your journey as comfortable as possible.

Off the bike, we know that a good night’s rest is essential for peak performance. That’s why we’ve carefully chosen the perfect route to pair with the best hotels, ensuring you have some of the most memorable rest stops. Sleep surrounded by the tranquility of a coffee plantation, waking to the sounds of birds and the sight of mountains blanketed in soft clouds as they slowly come to life. This is what awaits you: not just a ride, but a deeply enriching experience.
