Description

Discover the mountains of Medellín by bike, surround yourself with the landscapes of the Antioquia capital, and learn about stories from the colonial era, which you'll see represented through the open and ancestral paths we'll take on this tour. Explore Medellín's largest district, San Antonio de Prado, a territory made up of 9 villages whose economic activities focus on livestock, agriculture, and pig farming; tour the villages and get to know Colombian country life up close. Dive into Colombia's cycling culture at Casa del Ciclista Medellín, a place built by traveling cyclists with a rich cultural history showcased through classic and antique bicycles. Enjoy a coffee experience, where you'll learn all about the cycles of Colombia's emblematic drink, coffee, while wearing the typical clothing of a peasant (poncho and hat). There, you'll experience all its processes up close, from the seed, walking among coffee plantations, picking it from the tree, and turning it into an exquisite cup of origin coffee that you can also enjoy. Get closer to the community: Tour around 4 rural villages in the district. Authentic experience: You'll experience a mix of bike tourism, agrotourism, culture, and tradition on a ride.
