Colombia, Past the Pavement

Tour Overview

Our Colombian Trailblazer tour is all about the off-road – the dirt bikes enabling us to get far off the beaten track and explore Colombia’s backcountry routes.

Colombia is a stunningly beautiful, diverse and vibrant country. Home to the northern tips of the Andes Mountains – the scenery, climate and landscapes of Colombia differ massively from region to region.

On this Colombian motorcycle tour, we will ride at a range of altitudes from 200m to 4,000m through jungle climates, alongside rice paddies and past snow-capped volcanoes. We’ll ride along disused railway lines, stay in traditional haciendas and ride between two Andes mountain ranges. When we’re not in the saddle, we’ll cross the Magdalena River on small boats, relax in hot spring pools and taste the delights of the world-famous coffee region.

All of this and dirt biking too – this could be heaven!
