Bike Colombia Colombia, "South America's best kept secret", has undergone many changes in the last 10 years and is now the continent's 3rd largest economy. A tropical country of incredible diversity and charm. Its ever-changing geography, a history loaded with mystery and adventure, its people and cultures, have fascinated the world for centuries.

Testimonials Colombia with its friendly people was a pleasant surprise . the country presented some challenging rides and spectacular scenery .Grant (Tauranga ) “What an awesome trip and I say this for everything about it. The varied scenery, the flora, the colourful small villages with their courtyards and the excellent accommodation and bikes. Even experiencing the larger cities of Medellin and Bogota was a plus. But that is just the start as the Colombians are so hospitable, friendly and considerate to bikers. Our driver and guide ( as well as the local guides) were excellent value and most supportive.What does a Colombian bike tour involve? Firstly, the regions we visited are safe and we saw less police and road cones than in NZ. Secondly, the terrain is hilly being in the lower Andes, so either be fit or hire an electric mountain bike as I did. Thirdly, Colombians like their cafes, smooth coffee and Club Colombia beer so be prepared to enjoy that part of the trip! Fourth, the climate is sublime at the mid altitude we mostly kept to.So, if you are a biker who enjoys all of the above do put this visit to Colombia on your bucket list!” Pauline “Just had an amazing cycle trip through Colombia.One word to describe it. "MAGICAL" From the accommodation,food,friendliness',scenery,organisation,....you name it. Would I do it again...YES” Barry
