Are you ready to ride with Villa and experience something beyond cycling? At Villa, we’ve designed a unique tour in the heart of Colombia for you to enjoy stunning landscapes, rich culture, and adventure every mile of the way.
You can find our full itinerary at www.villacycling.com, but here’s an overview of this 9-day, 8-night trip. We’ll be staying in Villa de Leyva, a charming colonial town at 2,000 meters (6,560ft) above sea level, for six nights, so you can settle in comfortably without the stress of packing and unpacking. This lets you fully experience the culture and landscapes without rushing.
Cycling and Culture in a Unique Experience
While cycling is the main focus, we’ve planned five rides that will let you discover Colombia’s unique scenery and enjoy the freedom of riding at your own pace. In the afternoons, you’ll have the chance to explore cafés, restaurants, and artisanal shops in Villa de Leyva and surrounding areas, relaxing after each ride.
Unique Activities in Colombia’s Heartland
Ever wanted to see a unique ecosystem? On this tour, you’ll visit a high-altitude páramo at over 3,000 meters (9,800ft), the colorful artisan village of Ráquira, and the impressive Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá. And, to wrap up, we’ll take you to Colombia’s most iconic nightclub for an unforgettable evening.
Challenges for All Levels
The routes on this tour vary from 35 to 79 km (22 to 49mi), with climbs and stunning views for all levels. The most challenging day includes a mountain pass with grades up to 20%, while other rides are great for both casual and more intense paces. Each route is available on Strava for you to review ahead of time.
