ABOUT ROAD:

The ride itself will not be technically very demanding. We definitely promise fantastic views. We will drive on asphalt roads or well / decently maintained gravel roads. We do not expect sands. Weather, like in high mountains, can be capricious. You have to be prepared for all conditions, including rain. Our route leads through the Andes and the center of the country. We will not visit the coast or southern Colombia.

SPPED:

It is not a race, and we care about safety: We will be going at our own pace and make sure all participants reach the destination safely.

Z

WEATHER:

In Colombia, close to the equator, you drive well all year round, but the weather is very changeable: it can differ in two adjacent valleys, separated by steep mountain ranges.

REMEMBER ABOUTS:
