On this tour we will cover some of the most amazing destinations and scenery Colombia has to offer. We start off in Bogotá and head down the Eastern mountain range towards the jaw dropping landscapes of the Eastern plains. Here we will spend one full day in the peaceful and beautiful natural reserve of Hato La Aurora. A place teeming with wildlife and nature. We will do a Safari through the savannah which at times might make you think we are in Africa. At the Hato, for those interested, we will spend some time doing a refresher off road training course. We will then leave the plains behind and get back into the mountains where we will ride some amazing twisty roads that will take us through colonial haciendas and towns forgotten in time. We will ride Colombia's deepest canyon: The Chicamocha. After traversing the canyon we drop down into the Magdalena Valley and head on over to the beautiful cabins by La Miel river, a wonderful place to wind down and relax in the middle of nature. On our last day we return to the capital. After this journey we will have plenty of stories to share for a lifetime. Don't let them tell you about it, pack your bags and get ready for an unforgettable adventure. We pride ourselves in providing the opportunity to share stories that will last a lifetime. See you in Colombia! OFF ROAD RIDING: This tour is a dual purpose adventure. Which means we will be riding through dirt and gravel roads. At times depending on weather we might encounter mud. We highly recommend you feel comfortable riding big bikes off road. |
