Sebastián and his team at Bonobo Adventures were nothing short of remarkable. I have been traveling to Colombia for over 30 years. Always for work. But it has been my dream to visit other parts of the country and, for me, the best way to get to know a land and its people is by bike. Here I am in my 60's and Bonobo made it possible for me to visit the Antioquia region. To explore the Cauca River valley and to climb the peaks around Medellin. Humble and beautiful lodgings along with humble and beautiful people. The Paisas de Medellín! Cannot recommend this group highly enough. Colombia is wonderful, and there's no better way to get to see it, feel it, and know it than with Sebastián Mahecha and the team at Bonobo! I thank them all for a trip of a lifetime.

The Specialized Creo bikes were fantastic for touring Antioquia, especially some of the challenging climbs on the Bonobo Adventures itinerary.

What a fabulous trip!! I can't recommend Bonobo Adventures and the Antioquia region more highly. Every step of the way, Sebastian anticipated each detail, and what could have been a complicated tour (6 nights, 4 hotels, 6 cycling days) worked out very smoothly. His team, with Alejandro as van driver, David as mechanic and Stefani as new marketing hire helping out with our tour, handled everything professionally. Just as important, we got to know them all as people by sharing most meals together, even with a little language barrier between us. The Antioquia landscapes are jaw-droppingly beautiful. Sebastian chose routes that included a couple of iconic climbs, but with the Specialized Creo e-assist road bikes, we three middle-aged Americans reached the top just fine. The hotels were comfortable, spotlessly clean and professionally staffed. My favorite was the Casa de las Campanas guest house in Cauca Viejo, where we were the only guests and Adriana treated us to excellent Colombian cuisine prepared in the open kitchen while we relaxed in the pool or veranda. Two surprise afternoon activities (no spoilers!) really added to our feel for this remarkable region. Go with Bonobo Adventures, and tell your friends to do the same!
