5Cycling in Colombia
We had a wonderful time cycling in Colombia with our guides Daniel and Diego. They were hands on, prioritising safety, and a lot of fun to hang around with. Everything was planned for us, every logistical detail taking care of seamlessly, top notch mechanical support, with nice little attentions throughout our trip. We were able to concentrate solely on cycling the beautiful mountains south of Medellin. Tomas and Marcella, from their base in Retiro, provided invaluable support and documentation throughout our trip. Great communication. One of my best cycling trips ever. We’ll be back. Thanks to the whole team at Colombia Cycling for the great memories.
5Letras tour
Colombia Cycling is absolutely amazing. They go out of their way to help you and make the experience unforgettable. Everyone we encountered was passionate, fun, and full of energy. The trip was extremely well organized, and they truly do an outstanding job. Our guide, Juan, was a super domestique , just fantastic—passionate, fun, and clearly someone who genuinely loves what he does. He made the experience even better. Our driver, Arquimedes was great, always with a smile and there for help and support when needed. Our airport pick up driver- Daniel- so helpful and passionate. Tomas and Marcela are incredible at what they do. They are welcoming, kind, and genuinely helpful, and they take great care of you throughout the entire experience. The accommodations are top-class—unique, comfortable, and thoughtfully chosen. They pay close attention to every detail, which really sets them apart. Highly recommended. Cheers, until we come back for El Sifón Manuel and Alesha
5Colombia - full of beautiful people and beautiful riding
Words cannot describe how amazing this trip was. As a Canadian, I was nervous about going given the very underserved reputation Colombia has. Colombia Cycling went above and beyond, including customizing our 5 day gravel trip into two. Right from the beginning every detail was taken care of. Airport pickup, little gifts each day and every need we could think of looked after. The hotels were great, food incredible and our rental bikes were excellent. In particular, our guide Daniel A. was spectacular. He knew every inch of everywhere we went, was so friendly and so welcoming. To anyone considering this trip - do it!!! The riding was incredible, the people even better. I will be back that’s for certain.
5What an experience!
Excellent experience through the mountains of Colombia! The whole team made me feel welcome and secured. They guide me and thought me about the region and culture. I enjoyed every single meal and the coffee was great. Would love to do it again!
5Great experience & people!
We rode with Colombia Cycling for five days in early July. The trip was well organized from start to finish and we had a fantastic time exploring Medellin and the surrounding areas. Tomas, Marcela, Daniel (our main guide), and the rest of the Colombia Cycling team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They tailored to trip to fit the challenge we were looking for. I would absolutely come back and ride with them again. They went above and beyond to make it a truly special experience! After recently doing a similar organized trip in the US, we found Colombia Cycling to be a far better overall experience. The team was very attentive and the logistics were extremely smooth, which helped us to be able to focus only on the cycling. The routes and stops were well-planned and we were fully supported for the entire ride. The guides were great to work with and shared lots of local knowledge with us along the way. Even the way they helped with recovery between the days was amazing! We booked the pro-team package and would recommend this trip to anyone.
5Magical
Biking Antioquia Around the Colonial Villages with Colombia Cycling was, for me, a magical experience. Super fun. It was a cultural immersion as well as a gravel and road cycling challenge. I loved getting to know the people, the food and drink, the music, the pueblos, the culture, and practicing my Spanish. The weather was amazing, blue skies, puffy clouds, cool breezes, mountain forests, a thousand shades of green, flowers everywhere. A treat for the senses. Juan, our guide, was a sure and steady companion, friendly and attentive to both our safety and joy. And Rey and Diego in the support vehicle were cheerful and helpful. Tomás and Marcela put so much thought and care into every detail of the trip, supporting local hotels, restaurants, cafes, farmers. The riding itself was as challenging as we wanted to make it. Very! I bike for transportation in NYC, and am relatively new to road cycling, although in the past couple of years I have been road cycling (with some gravel riding) in Spain, Portugal, and the US, and riding with Colombia Cycling is the best ever.

About Medellín
Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.
The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
