Off-Road Motorcycle Riding
-
A significant portion of Colombia's interior is connected by unpaved roads and trails. While Colombia has plenty of challenging terrains for expert riders, our motorcycle tours are geared towards those seeking a milder yet thrilling off-road experience. These tours are crafted to match the skills of riders with a good handle on their machines but aren't necessarily seasoned pros on the most extreme terrains.
-
Our intermediate rides encompass a balance of paved and unpaved sections. Riders will traverse over a range of surfaces, including gravel, dirt, or a mix of both. The tracks may consist of a collection of bumps, large potholes, or other road imperfections that add a touch of adventure without catapulting into extreme off-roading.
-
Moreover, some stretches of the route may feature steep inclines or sharp bends that demand attention and some degree of skill. These winding sections not only provide a suitable challenge to keep the ride engaging but also open up to some of the most breathtaking vistas Colombia has to offer.
-
Rest assured, the road conditions for our intermediate motorcycle trips in Colombia are designed to be challenging but not necessarily treacherous. These routes demand some level of experience in off-road riding or unpaved terrain but do not push the limits into extreme off-roading.
It is this careful balance between adventure and safety that makes our off-road motorcycle tours a perfect choice. They offer an ideal opportunity for riders to challenge themselves, improve their skills, and enjoy an exhilarating journey through the richly diverse landscapes of Colombia. Riders can feel their pulse quicken with the thrill of the ride, while also taking time to soak in the beauty and cultural richness of the places they pass through.
Colombia, being a country of diverse terrains, offers a wide range of riding conditions. From smooth tarmac roads to challenging off-road trails, here's what you can expect when riding in Colombia:
Paved Primary Roads
-
The majority of Colombia's primary roads are paved and offer an excellent riding experience. The highway system connects major cities and towns and the asphalt quality is generally good. However, due to heavy rainfall in certain regions, watch out for occasional potholes or cracks.
Secondary roads
-
Secondary roads connecting smaller towns and rural areas, are also paved but their conditions can vary. Some sections may be narrow and winding with unexpected potholes. These roads demand a cautious riding style, especially around blind curves where the oncoming traffic can sometimes cross the center line.
