Day 1: We meet at the Motolombia facility in Cali at 8:00 AM. After sorting out paperwork and bike hand-over we make our way into the mountains and ride hundreds of tight curves before reaching La Cumbre.

Fly-in to Cali (CLO) – Motolombia will pick you up in airport and bring you to the hotel. Depending on what time in the day you arrive, we will meet to sort out paperwork and prep the bikes. A tour briefing will be arranged once the last rider has arrived.

Cali to Pasto – Motolombia will pick you up at the hotel at 8 am and about 9 am we are ready to hit the road. The first day of riding will present thousands of curves as we make our way south toward Pasto. The route is all paved first day but we will have stay on our best game as we snake through the narrow section of the PanAmerican mountain “highway”.

Pasto to Mocoa – From Pasto we make our way up over a high pass to the laguna La Cocha before the dirt starts. The famous “Trampoline of Death” road will take through breath taking mountain scenery on a ultra narrow cliff hanger road with sheer drops several hundreds meter down on one side. We spend the night in the all green Mocoa on the edge of the Amazon basin.

Mocoa to San Agustin – The road from Mocoa to San Agustin is all paved and continues to curve through incredible scenery.  Arriving into San Agustin early afternoon there is time to check out some of the local sites in this traditional Colombian village.

Rest-day: San Agustin – The options are many for non-riding activities in San Agustin. We can arrange a trip to Colombia’s most important archeological find – the more than 500 Easter island type sculptures left by an old ancient Indian tribe well before the Spanish arrived on the continent or we can horse back ride, hike or do an awesome rafting trip on the wild Magdalena River.

San Agustin to Tatacoa – Riding from San Agustin to the Tatacoa desert will be all types of terrain as we make our way north. We will spend the night in South America’s second most important location for fossils the Tatacoa desert. We will also visit natural springs and an Alien landing site  😉

Tatacoa to Bogota – As we make our way north through the Magdalena River valley it will be hot and dry and there will be both dirt, rocks and paved roads to manage. At the end of the day we will engage in “urban enduro” as we fight our way through the hectic traffic of Bogota. A good diner in the fashionable Zona T will be a well deserved reward

Bogota to Yopal – We get out of town quickly in the morning and straight into the mountains on Colombia’s eastern Andes mountain range. After a few hours of intense curves we’ll arrive on the totally flat Eastern Plains that is the start of the Amazon basin (Llanos Orientales). We spend the night in frontier mining town Yopal. Expect hot and humid climate!

Yopal to El Cocuy – Day 9 will have it all. Flat plains, high mountains, paved sections, dirt sections from super hot to quite cold weather as we make our way up to almost 5000 meters altitude. The scenery is outer worldly as we approach the the snow capped peaks at El Cocuy.

Rest-day: El Cocuy – On this “rest” day we will have the option of taking the bikes up to the snowcapped glaciers at El Cocuy national park or we can arrange alternative transportation including horseback riding. Some riders might wish to spend the day relaxing in the colonial village of El Cocuy and surroundings.

El Cocuy to Barichara –  This is another fantastic day of riding as the route takes us up and down high mountains on a mix of paved and dirt roads and tracks. We pass through San Gil before arriving in the beautiful Barichara colonial village on the edge of the Chicamocha canyon.

Barichara to Puerto Berrio – From Barichara we head down the mountains to the Magdalena River valley. This time we connect with the river a lot further north. The river is now huge and wide at this point and we’ll stay in the river town of Puerto Berrio in cattle and oil exploration country.

Puerto Berrio to Guatape – Hopefully every rider is still as excited as we are with getting back into more curves as we make our way into the Central Andes mountain range (Cordilleras Central). We end the day in Guatape, a wonderful little vacation town for locals from Medellin. We’ll visit the El Peñol monolith rock for a breath taking view of the lake district.

Guatape to Manizales –  We continue in the central Andean mountain range south to the interesting collage town of Manizales. The night life is usually pretty good for those who still have energy to go out.

Manizales to Cali – Last day of riding brings us down through the coffee region and into the Cauca River Valley. The roads flatten out coming into towards Cali and we reach “civilisation” again late afternoon in time to return bikes and get cleaned up for a last night out in the Salsa Capital of the World – Cali.

Fly-out Cali (CLO): Motolombia will make sure to transport you to the airport in time for your return flight.
