Hi


My trip to Colombia was absolutely fantastic. I can highly recommend it, it's easy safe and stunning. and the food yummy.
No major tips really.
I can highly recommend Guatape and Salento, but think it would be hard to find somewhere not nice in Colombia. Bogota is not great but Medellin is.


Good Luck and Enjoy :)

All depends how much time you have and how hard core you want to get :)

I would go to Medellin via Honda and Manizales. I have also ridden Bogota to Medellin via La Dorada, Sonson and up to Rio Negro. But this is a lot of unpaved road, but great riding.

From Medellin to Santa Fe de Antioquia, Turbo, Arboletes, Monteria, Lorica, Tolu then north up to Cartagena. I have ridden this route 5-6 times without issue. The road between Santa Fe to Monteria is amazing, one of the best riding roads in Colombia in my opinion.
