⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An Unforgettable Ride Through Colombia. My wife and I joined the 7-Day Perfect Loop Coffee Region Tour for our first trip to South America, and it exceeded every expectation. Jeff and his team were outstanding—friendly, professional, and incredibly organized.
The route was stunning and full of variety, the Honda XRE300 was in perfect condition, and riding two-up was smooth and easy. From start to finish, it was a beautiful, challenging, and unforgettable experience. If you’re thinking about a motorcycle adventure in Colombia—book with Jeff. You won’t be disappointed."

IS COLOMBIA SAFE?
Absolutely. Colombia today is nothing like the old Netflix stereotypes. Pablo Escobar died over 30 years ago, and the country has transformed. We've led hundreds of tours without a single safety issue.
Anthony Bourdain summed it up perfectly:
"If you want to find bad people in Colombia, you can surely find them, as you could in New York or Los Angeles. But nowhere have my crew and I been treated better or with more kindness and generosity. I'd bring my family on vacation there in a heartbeat. And hope to soon. As I said before: Colombians are proud. Let them show you what they are proud of."

Known for their entrepreneurial spirit and resilience, Paisas have played a crucial role in Colombia’s development, especially in coffee cultivation.
