Description
Bike Tour: From Salento to La Carbonera Forest. Get ready for the most epic adventure in Quindío! Join our guided bike tour from the heart of Salento to the magical Palma de Cera La Carbonera Forest. This isn't just a ride; it's a full-on dive into the Andean landscape, where the grandeur of giant palms meets the thrill of mountain biking.

Enjoy a perfect combo of 4×4 adventure and pedaling, with a vehicle-assisted ascent to save energy and make the most of the descent.
