Sergio, an amateur rider from Colombia, grew up in the hills of Manizales and the rugged terrain of Los Nevados National Park. His passion for mountain biking ignited at age 11, shaping a lifelong journey. For Sergio, MTB became a profound connection with nature, leading him to study biology and wildlife conservation. His dedication was validated when he won the national XCO championship in the Juvenil category.

Now, Sergio curates and leads MTB tours in Colombia’s coffee region, including Manizales, Salento, and Medellín, while guiding riders through the Andean landscapes. His journey reflects his deep commitment to the world of Mountain Biking.

Enduro – All Mountain Guide

Simón’s passion for mountain biking began at 19 during his first semesters of studying Industrial Engineering. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a burning passion. He pushed his limits, explored new horizons, and left his mark in national enduro races with commendable results.

In 2018, Simón embraced two roles: a weekday engineer in a suit and a weekend cyclist pursuing his passion. He then took a bold step into entrepreneurship, founding «Trail Hunters,» which has since become a cornerstone of mountain biking in Colombia’s Coffee Region.
