Essential Rider Info

Everything You Need to Know Before Riding in Colombia 🏍️🇨🇴

 

Planning your first motorcycle trip to Colombia? Already a seasoned rider but new to South America? Either way, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know — clearly laid out and easy to understand — so you can focus on the fun, not the fine print.

🛠️ 24/7 Rider Support

We’re adventure riders too — and we know things happen. That’s why our bilingual team is on call 24/7, ready to help with route advice, emergency logistics, or mechanical issues. We’ll help you get rolling again quickly.

🗺️ You’re never riding alone — we’ve got your back anywhere in Colombia.

🏁 Skill Level & Terrain

Our routes are built for intermediate-level riders with basic off-road experience.
Most tours are about 50% paved and 50% off-road, featuring a mix of:

  • Mountain twisties

  • Gravel and dirt roads

  • River crossings

  • High-altitude passes

If you’re unsure about your skill level, contact us — we’ll recommend the right route.

⛽ Fuel Info

Fuel is included only on guided tours.For rentals and self-guided trips, fuel is inexpensive and widely available — even in remote areas.

👥 Private Tours & Group Size

We specialize in private tours, not giant caravans.
Whether you're traveling solo or leading a crew of 30+, we’ve got the gear, bikes, support vehicles, and guides to make it seamless.

🛣️ No Tolls for Motorcycles – Ride free through Colombia’s tolls using dedicated motorcycle lanes — no stopping, no paying.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Riding Two-Up

Bringing a passenger? Both the Honda XRE300 and Suzuki DR650 can comfortably carry a passenger.
We’ll outfit your bike with:

  • A rear top box that doubles as a backrest

  • Extra luggage space

  • Passenger gear
    Let us know during booking so we can prep everything for two-up riding.

We offer one-way drop-off and pick-up options throughout Colombia for an additional fee.

📅 Year-Round Availability

Colombia has no off-season for motorcycles. Thanks to the country’s diverse geography and year-round spring-like weather, we run tours and rentals every week of the year. Plan around your schedule, not the calendar — we’ll help you make it happen.

💰 Optional Damage Insurance

Worried about “what ifs”? Don’t be.
We offer optional full-coverage damage insurance with zero deductible.
It covers:

  • Drops

  • Tip-overs

It’s simple, transparent, and highly recommended for peace of mind — especially in off-road conditions.
