MEET JEFF CREMER
EXPLORER, PHOTOGRAPHER & LEAD RIDER
AT COLOMBIA MOTO ADVENTURES
A Life Of Adventure
Jeff Cremer has spent over 20 years living and exploring Latin America — 12 years in Peru, 8 in Colombia, and time across Costa Rica and Central America in between.
He's covered the region on two wheels, behind a camera, and occasionally 1,000 feet underwater. His work has been published in National Geographic, Wired, and NBC News. He's a licensed pilot, certified scuba rescue diver, and Red Cross Emergency First Responder.
He came to Colombia and never left. Since founding Colombia Moto Adventures in 2018, Jeff has ridden thousands of kilometres of Colombia's backroads — testing every route personally, building relationships with local communities, and guiding riders from 30+ countries through the real Colombia. Every itinerary reflects years of firsthand knowledge no map can replicate.
Colombia Motorcycle Adventures
-
What began as a passion became a mission: to show riders the real Colombia — safely, confidently, and far off the tourist trail.
-
Jeff and his team design every route around two things: genuine adventure and genuine safety. They know which roads are worth the detour, which communities will welcome you with coffee, and what to do if something goes wrong. Since 2018, not one of their riders has had a security incident on any of their routes.
Photography & Exploration
-
Jeff spent six years as a professional wildlife photographer based at the Tambopata Research Center in the Peruvian Amazon. His images have appeared in National Geographic, Wired, Ripley's Believe It or Not, NBC News, Yahoo News, the Huffington Post, the London Telegraph, and many others.
-
He has appeared on Netflix, the Smarter Every Day YouTube channel, BBC Weird World, and multiple national television and radio programmes in Peru.

World's Largest Atlas — Two of Jeff's gigapixel photographs were selected for EARTH Platinum Edition, recognised as the world's largest atlas. Each double-page spread measures 6 feet by 9 feet. Only 31 copies will ever be printed, each retailing for $100,000. It is considered one of the rarest printed books in the world.

Record-breaking gigapixel photography — Jeff holds the record for the largest photograph ever taken in Peru: a 22,000-megapixel panorama of Lima's Miraflores district. He also holds the record for the largest photograph ever taken of Machu Picchu — a 16,000-megapixel image that allows viewers to zoom from a sweeping view of the entire site down to individual stones without losing clarity.
Ocean Exploration
-
While working as a marketing consultant for Triton Submarines — the world's most experienced civil submarine manufacturer — Jeff dove to over 1,000 feet in a private submersible on the Tongue of the Ocean, a deep trench in the Bahamas that plunges over 6,500 feet. Triton submersibles feature a clear acrylic pressure sphere for panoramic views and are certified to depths of over 1,000 metres.
