When you come ride in Colombia you will find some of the most beautiful and dramatic scenery in South America and routes will lead you across Andean peaks and descending into warm tropical valleys, across deserts and through old colonial villages. The roads are endlessly curvy and scenic and the tarmac on the main roads are mostly in good conditions.

It is finally, after decades of civil war, safe to travel in most areas of the country. The left-wing guerrilla have been seriously weakened and the right-wing paramilitary are being disarmed. Colombian military and police are taking good care of cities and roads all over the country and tourism is booming.
The options are many. You can visit two oceans – the Pacific and the Caribbean, historic sites and cities, the Andes mountain range, the amazon jungle, coffee- and sugarcane plantations, volcanoes, beaches, lakes, Indian ruins and lost ancient cities and finally the Colombians are possibly the friendliest, most helpful people you’ll ever meet.
