How technical is this bike tour from skills perspective? How many miles would I ride in a day? And lastly what is the highest altitude where we would be riding? I have a high altitude sickness and don't do well above 9,000 feet.

In Bucaramanga, we have different thermal floors, for which we have routes from 500 m to 3800 meters above sea level. Day two of the train route is between 40 and 50km or it can even be longer if you wish, but we have a backup car to support the route. We can also adjust the canyon route, there we can find all levels of difficulty depending on your level on the bike.

The biking was tailored to my skill/fitness level, very nicely. The waterfall display above Bucaramanga was especially good.

I just came back from Colombia and this bike/coffee tour was the highlight of my trip. The itinerary was well designed and thought out. The bike route was fantastic, consists of rail line, rolling hills, some challenging climbs, single track and a long downhill with a breathtaking view. Meals I tried along the way were local and very tasty. Coffee tasting, a coffee farm tour, and staying overnight at the farm was once in a lifetime kind of experience. The farm we visited had won a bunch of awards in prior years and the coffee we tasted was one of the best that I ever had. Flavor was complex and soothing. Then we went on a coffee farm tour where I saw different coffee production processes, countless of coffee trees, other tropical fruit trees, waterfall, and so many different types of birds. I got to spend a night at the farm which included a dinner and a breakfast prepared by the farm chef. Fantastic food. There were two cabins newly built at the farm. The room was rustic, clean and offered a fantastic panoramic view overlooking Bucaramanga city in the distance, the farm, and the mountains on the other side. In the morning I woke up to bird noise and a sunrise over the mountain. It’s a luxury hotel in the middle of the mountain. Next day we biked through pineapple fields, local villages, more coffee farms, local markets, and gorgeous Chicamocha canyon. I had to stop riding due to my physical condition shortly before a 5 mile downhill to the bottom of the canyon. That would have been so much fun. I got picked up by my sag vehicle when I needed to stop riding. The view at the bottom of the canyon was fantastic. I think what stands out the most besides food, bike rides, and coffee farm is a team running the tour. They made me feel safe and supported whole time. They catered to my needs such as distance of riding, bike routes, food and so on. They made the whole experience so much better. From I got picked up at the airport until I got dropped I pretty much didn’t have to worry about anything, and just was able to enjoy. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a different part of Colombia away from tourists heavy areas. It offers a good balance of relaxation and physical challenge, excellent support, and an experience of a life time.Show more
