Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1

Welcome to Colombia - please make your way to our start hotel. In the evening trip briefing and dinner.

Day 2

Easy ride to get used to the altitude. Rolling terrain with fantastic mountain views, churches, small towns and a late lunch in a beautiful main plaza.

Day 3

A lagoon, beautiful architecture, ceramics and a mix of paved and unpaved roads are what we have for today’s biking instalment.

Day 4

Contrasting scenery, panoramic views and Villa de Leyva, a great example of the whitewashed colonial architecture and a town of historical significance will be the highlights of today.

Day 5

A circular route today as we stay in Villa de Leyva and a chance to taste some of the wine produced by Colombia, and then a relaxing afternoon is the order of the day.

Day 6

Early start today to get the best weather as we head to Moniquira, the “place of bath” and also the best producer of Bocadillo, the best fuel for cycling.

Day 7

A great day for the mountain bikers as we hit some off-road mountain trails, stopping at an incredible waterfall before lunch in a colonial setting.

Day 8

Another day to savour as the gravel roads continue as we climb to Guane and see impressive nature and the red and yellow tones of the mountains in this dry enclave.

Day 9

The charming and laid-back town of Barichara and exciting mountain biking are what we have lined up today – a day to look forward to.

Day 10

Rest day today, but still a fantastic day, as we take the cable car across the canyon Mesa de los Santos, the second-largest, with the Grand Canyon being the largest. A memorable day.

Day 11

Fantastic trails, coffee making, local birdlife and local beer is a fitting way to end our biking and it is a cracker of a day!

Day 12

Bittersweet day as we head away from our bike trip, but still plenty to see in Colombia and the start of your next adventure!

SpiceRoads Cycling believes there's no better way to see the world than by bicycle. Because travel is about the journey and everything it encompasses, never just the destination. Experiencing the moment and place intensely, not chasing the next must-see sight. Discovering new things about the world, and yourself. Then returning home with experiences that remind you of what it means to be alive.

Since 1995 we've been sharing our passion for travelling by bicycle. Curating extraordinary cycle adventures in over 30 countries that give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with remarkable cultures, characters and landscapes in a way that no ordinary tour could.

We offer rides all over the world, on every type of terrain, for all ages and experience. From classic tours to epic cross-country voyages, SpiceRoads adventures are for anyone who believes what we always have…

That nothing good ever happened inside a comfort zone. That immersing yourself in different cultures teaches you things you would never learn in a textbook. That you get out of life precisely what you put in. And that travelling isn't just about seeing the world, it's about changing how you see it.
