Introduction

Discover two of South America’s most captivating destinations in one unforgettable journey—on two wheels. This unique cycling adventure combines the vibrant highlands of Colombia with the dramatic volcanic landscapes and lush rainforest of Ecuador, creating a tour that is as diverse as it is rewarding.

Your journey begins in Colombia, just outside Bogotá, where you ride into the scenic Andes of Boyacá. Quiet backroads lead you through traditional villages like Guasca and Guatavita, with cultural highlights such as the impressive Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá. The route continues to the colonial gem of Villa de Leyva, where cobbled streets, wide-open plazas, and striking contrasts—from desert landscapes to green mountain valleys—create a constantly changing backdrop. Along the way, authentic local experiences bring the culture to life.

The adventure then shifts to Ecuador, beginning in the historic city of Quito. From here, you cycle through the breathtaking scenery of Cotopaxi National Park, riding in the shadow of Cotopaxi Volcano—one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. The journey also takes you to the legendary Chimborazo Volcano, whose summit is the closest point on Earth to the sun due to the planet’s equatorial bulge.

Continuing toward Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador’s adventure capital, you’ll ride through lush valleys and past waterfalls—highlighted by the spectacular Pailón del Diablo—before descending into the Amazon basin. Here, cycling blends with river travel and immersive jungle experiences, offering a completely different pace and atmosphere.

With well-balanced rides, full support, and carefully selected accommodations, this tour blends challenge with comfort. It’s designed for cyclists who want more than just distance—those looking to experience the soul of a destination through its landscapes, people, and culture, all at a pace that allows you to truly take it in.
