Tour "Alto de Letras": The big challenge

The experience offered by Colombia Cycling is of great quality

Just got back from my cycling trip in Colombia, and wow, what an experience. One of the biggest highlights was conquering the Alto del Sifón climb — tough, but so worth it. The crew at Colombia Cycling honestly made the trip. Even though we had a group of 22 riders, their staff was more than capable of supporting us. They took care of everything, both on and off the bike, so all we had to do was focus on riding and soaking it all in. Riding through the towns and mountains (i.e. Colombian flats and endless repechos!) of Colombia was something I’ll never forget. Huge thanks to Marcela, Tomás, Diego, Daniel (x2), Juan, and Manuel — they went above and beyond the entire time. If you’re into cycling, especially climbing, I can’t recommend Colombia Cycling enough. Already thinking about when I can go back!

Colombia cycling has offered us the possibility to know Colombia from the bike. The whole team works to make you live a perfect experience: the routes, the hotels, the restaurants, the team that accompanies you... Everything is wonderfully designed for you to pedal, enjoy and know any area of Colombia We totally recommend it, Whether you are motivated by the sporting challenge or if you are attracted to get lost and discover the country pedaling along its roads... we will repeat!

The whole time we spent with Colombia Cycling was fantastic, from the moment we were collected from the airport by Daniel, our guide for the next 5 days, to catching up over a coffee with Thomas and Marcela at the end! The cycling was a challenge but always with something to see and some motivation from the support car. The team did as they said and all our needs and wants were catered for, you don’t need to do anything other than ride your bike for the whole trip! Seeing the authentic side of Colombia is a must and even better from a bike. The food and in particular all the exotic fruits were delicious. I cannot wait to return, maybe the gravel adventure next?! Thank you all for such a memorable trip!

The trip was very well organised and the itinerary very well planned. The accommodation offered a diverse experience which made it interesting and fun. The staff were extremely welcoming, supportive, motivational and really good people :) I felt very safe and supported which allowed me to relax and savour every moment in Colombia. The diet provided was fresh, ample and perfect fuel to conquer the climbs! I don't think this is an experience you would only do once, a return trip is calling!!

Totally FANTASTIC! Exceeded my expectations. The cycling, route, accommodation, food, amazing support from vehicles, snacks, electrolytes..... and..and.... was top class! The support team and organisers were super accommodating and helpful and their expertise and knowledge guided us all through on this wonderfully challenging route. And, to top it all, we received a thoughtful and super useful surprise gift on our beds at night, SO delightful! I can't say enough to thank the fabulous humans who made this trip possible. I LOVED every moment and have already told many on the rest of my trip that its a MUST do adventure. Highly recommended! THANK YOU Cycling Colombia.

The trip exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, every aspect of the journey was exceptional, earning it 5 stars! The guides were outstanding. Knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about cycling. I was well looked after by the when conquering Alto de Letras, and learned a lot. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, offering a perfect mix of challenging hills and breath taking views. Not to mention the comfy beds in handpicked hotels!

Words will not be enough to express my gratitude for the PERFECT logistics that helped us conquer this climb. They DID everything perfectly – the hydration, the snacks, the empowering words in moments of despair, the photos taken – always there, always "moscas." :) ... EVERYTHING was perfect! Please do yourself a favor and use @Colombia Cycling and their whole team! You will not be disappointed even if you go and don't conquer the monster climb. The roads were not that busy since we did the climb on a Sunday and cars expect and respect cyclists. A few segments were under construction, but nothing complicated or crazy to worry about. ;)"

We went from Chile, a group of bike lovers, with different FTP but the same desire to enjoy and meet. It was 4 days of pedaling, with beautiful landscapes and demanding and challenging routes. From the reception at Bogota airport to the last day in Medellin, we receive all the affection, professionalism and dedication of a “family”, who enjoy and know what they do. Every thoughtful detail, all restaurants, hotels, views, make the experience an unforgettable experience. The logistics, impeccable. The country, wonderful. People, caring and attentive. Without a doubt, if you enjoy the bike and want to try it out and take your training a step further, accept the challenge and say yes to Colombia cycling. You won't regret it.

This was my third trip with Colombia Cycling and every one has been amazing! The people, the food, the hotels and the logistics have all been top notch. I cannot say enough about Colombia cycling. They share their love of cycling and their country with all who have the chance to join their trips.
