You don’t just ride roads here. You ride stories!

This itinerary is a living guide. We chase the best weather and the best rides, adjusting for the group's needs.

Touch down in Pereira. We will handle your airport pickup and bring you to our HQ, Donkey Sunrise. Today is about administrative ease: paperwork, payments, and most importantly, fitting you to your bike. Tonight is about relaxing, meeting the group and preparing for the adventure ahead!

The adventure begins early. We stop for coffee in beautiful Belalcázar and visit Cristo Rey (the 4th largest Christ statue in the world). The ride turns thrilling with an off-road section via Riosucio into the rugged backcountry, offering chances to spot rare birds and parrots. We spend the night in the heritage town of Jardín, soaking up the vibrant plaza life and colonial architecture.

We start the morning in a charming coffee town before heading deep into the lush jungle region of Cocorná. This area is a hidden gem, famous for its balnearios and crystal-clear natural river pools (charcos) along the Río Cocorná. We’ll end the day at a stunning finca immersed in nature.

We leave the pavement behind to tackle a remote dirt track winding through a landscape of endless tropical green. You will ride through a stunning maze of rolling hills, tracing the banks of the crystal-clear Río La Miel. It is an immersive journey along the water's edge, leading us straight into the heart of Norcasia.

We start with a swim stop about an hour into the ride. Lunch is in Mariquita before we begin the climb. Depending on the group and weather, we choose between the quick route via Armero or the scenic challenge via Casabianca.

Prepare for the pinnacle of the journey: Los Nevados National Park. We ride over the high-altitude pass of Nevado del Ruiz at 4,200 meters (13,700 ft). After the high-altitude thrill, we’ll pause for a well-earned lunch and a soothing soak in natural thermal baths. The final leg is pure riding joy, carving through the coffee region’s beautiful asphalt twisties all the way back to home base at Donkey Sunrise. Here, we'll have our big farewell dinner & share all the memories we've made together.

We'll have one final breakfast together before we say our goodbyes (or better: our see you soon's!). Please note that airport transfers for your departure are not included.
