RIDE DESCRIPTION
Take a trip to a remote jungle lodge:
Take an off-road motorcycle adventure tour remote jungle lodge where we take a short boat ride down the river to get to the lodge itself. Here we spend an afternoon exploring the river by boat while looking for wildlife. Spend the day swimming at a beautiful waterfall and swim crystal clear water. Then we get into tubes and float down the river until we arrive at the hotel. At night the stars come out and the jungle comes alive. We can relax on hammocks while listening to the sounds of the jungle at night. On the last day, we put the bikes on a boat (or canoe) for a river crossing on the way back to Medellin.

ROUTE MAPS & NOTES
IS COLOMBIA SAFE?
The answer is a resounding YES. Colombia is exactly the opposite of what Netflix Narcos series portrays. People have to realize that Pablo Escobar was killed three decades ago. We've led hundreds of tours around the country and have never had any problems with security.
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."

Day 5 / Norcasia to Doradal
River Crossing
Recommended Hotel:
Santorini Colombiano
Recommended Activities:
San Miguel River Crossing
Today we start to make our way back to our home base in Medellin. The area is generally characterized by a warm, tropical climate. The region is well-suited for agriculture, including cattle ranching. Brahman bulls, which are well-adapted to hot, humid climates, are indeed a common sight in various parts of Colombia, including the area around Doradal. These cattle are prized for their resistance to pests and diseases, as well as their ability to thrive in less-than-ideal grazing conditions.
After an unpaved ride to the town of San Miguel you can make a short river crossing on a barge then hop back on the bikes to ride to the town of Doradal where you can spend the night at a place called ther "Santorini Colombiano" which has been developed to resemble the famous Greek island of Santorini. Just like the real Santorini with its iconic white-washed buildings, blue-domed churches, the Santorini Colombiano aims to put some Mediterranean magic in Colombia.
Day 6 / Doradal to Medellin
Recommended Hotel:
Diez Hotel Categoria
The ride to Medellín takes around four hours on a paved road and is fairly uneventful if there isn't any traffic. Highway congestion from busses and people returning to Medellín can make the highway more challenging. The last leg of the trip dropping into Medellín's valley is a bit steeper so be sure to watch your speed and increase your following distance.
