MOUNTAIN BIKE TOUR
This mountain bike tour explores the colonial villages that lie in the heart of the Andean mountains. This tour is geared for cyclists who want to trace their way along century old roads that connect these villages and experience some great single track descents. The savanna surrounding Bogotá is a special place: It is a huge plateau, a very calm landscape filled with green pastures and flanked by dramatic mountains. Our mountain bike tour trip, ranked easy to intermediate, is one of the best ways to area of Colombia to the fullest. You will be surprised more than a few times as the scenery will change multiple time over the course of the tour. Our final destination is the beautifully preserved pueblo of Villa de Leyva. We will return to Bogotá with a good deal of knowledge of the savanna and the campesinos in the area.

“Great experience and a lot of fun! Superb logistics and organisation of Cyclota. The beauty of Colombia and friendliness of the people were key take aways and the cycling was merely the vehicle and only a small part of the wonderful experience.”
