Description
Meet your guide at the meeting point and head to Arví Park, the biggest protected forest in Medellín, with abundant vegetation and beautiful views.
Arví is a 1,700-hectare public reserve sitting between 2,400 and 2,600 meters above sea level, reachable from the city valley by Metrocable Line L. It protects 160 species of birds and more than 540 species of plants, including orchids and bromeliads. It’s also laced with a network of singletrack trails, linked by quiet gravel roads, that most visitors to Medellín never get to experience.
Join a cross-country ride that includes singletrack trails as well as gravel roads connecting one trail to the next. Start on the less technical trail, and based on your preferences, adjust the trail-to-road balance, the distance covered, and the technicality of the trails ridden.
Choose your distance. A short day is around 6 km; a full one runs to 30 km. A typical 25 km ride climbs about 800 meters. Instead of riding non-stop, take breaks along the way to enjoy the views, strike up a conversation, hydrate, or have a snack.
