Colombia cycling trip

Colombia Cycling and biking in Colombia exceeded all of our expectations. From airport pick-up to drop off at our hotel on the last evening, we felt incredibly cared for - the kind of hospitality that you don't fully realize you are receiving until you are out traveling on your own after.

In the months leading up to the trip, Thomas was gracious in answering all of our questions and requests for recommendations. During the ride, Marcela handled the logistics behind the scenes seamlessly, addressed our requests, and I suspect was the source behind additional lovely details such as thoughtful nightly gifts on our pillows.

The bikes were excellent. The routes were phenomenal - big climbs, big descents, remote scenic roads, small communities, delicious coffee and snack stops, and continuous insights into Colombian cycling culture. Most memorable, however, were the guides. Danny, Diego, and Juan were gracious, accommodating, and fun cheerleaders and leads. With the treatment provided by Colombia Cycling and the incredible places to ride, we are already dreaming of our next trip.

Incredible trip ! , Really inspiringly beautiful landscapes, excellent guides, excellent food, wonderful accommodations, and really incredible days on a bicycle. Highly recommended !

I have been lucky to visit Colombia before but I really wanted to ride my bike there, so looked for a company that could help me. From the first contact with Colombia Cycling it was clear they were a company that could deliver on my dream trip.

Colombia Cycling made it easy and painless to plan, all I needed to do was align my flights and they took care of the transport from the airport for myself and my bike. We had a welcome briefing on the first day to cover the logistics, the routes and just to get to know each other.

The rides started on the second day and it was all that I dreamed for; the roads in Colombia are generally well maintained, the drivers are courteous. Colombia Cycling had super experienced tour guides riding with us, guiding us and providing useful knowledge on the area and the fauna. There was also a car following us in the event of any emergency and just to provide hydration and snacks.

The routes have clearly been developed based on local knowledges, providing a great way to experience Colombia and the coffee region of Antioquia. The climbs can be challenging but you shouldn't be afraid, many in our group set personal records for elevation gains, they all finished super happy with the experience.

The views and small towns you pass thru really allow you to experience Colombia, the people and its culture, all by bike!

The accommodation is well thought out and the excellent meals are included with refreshments and snacks during the ride. Other than some souvenirs and the odd alcoholic beverage I really didn't need to spend anything above what the tour provided.

The guides were great, happy to help and loved to share Colombia with us. We had two experienced mechanics one on the bike and another on the car with meant any minor issues were resolved quickly. (Punctures etc)

Thomas and Marcela were always reachable to answer any questions and to organize laundry or massages thru the trip duration.

In summary; I would highly recommend Colombian Cycling, it's a Colombian company operated and staffed to deliver on your dreams. The welcome and experience I got out of this trip was second to non. I plan to go back to experience more tours with them!
