The Ride Vibe
Mount up as the morning fog rises slowly through the 8,000' peaks. Transcend colombian fincas, and pueblos tucked into lush green hillside. Stop in a tienda with a group and grab a postre and your favorite bebida and try your spanish as you converse with the locals who are ecstatic to have cyclists visiting. Trust your ride guides and follow moto for descriptions and safe passage through each subida and descent. After a good day on the saddle, drop your ride with the mechanic so you can both get some R and R.
Off-The-Bike-Food
Our in-house, professional, local chefs prepare authentic Colombian breakfast to power you ahead of each ride. After a cultural adventure on the bike, stop at the house's cafe at the edge of the property, where our chefs will be expecting you, and enjoy lunch al fresco. Take a nap, stretch your legs, and enjoy a beverage while chefs prepare a dazzling dinner for you at the house.
