E-Bike Enduro Mountain Bike (MTB) Tour in Salento

Simon ans Sergio communicated well about the trip! They were flexible in providing options for my travel needs. They catered to my abilities and what I wanted out of the adventure day! My heart was so full from the good riding, great views, and the perk of doing some bird watching and learning about Colombia’s flora and fauna in the Salento region. It was a full day of adventure I highly recommend!

Today I had an unforgettable cycling experience thanks to Trail Hunters. They prepared a route that was completely adjusted to my wishes, needs and physical condition. SimĂłn and Paula are super professional in their work, they were attentive to me all the time and showed me some wonderful routes and landscapes. If someone wants to go through the coffee region and do a MTB, DH, Enduro or recreational route, Trail Hunters is the option.

I had an unforgettable day with Simon and Sergio. Despite knowing Colombia quite well, they showed me a side of Colombia which I had never experienced before. The ride was challenging, the landscape stunning, the food great, and I saw parts of the country which are usually inaccessible for foreigners. An epic ride which will stay with me for a long time. Almost a bonus: outstanding professional communication and organization.
