ITINERARY

Day 1

The trail of "Los Nevados" Natural Park

Early in the morning we will travel by car from the city of Manizales to reach the top of the central mountain range in the vicinity of Nevado del Ruiz, a place known locally as “Páramo de Letras” which is located at about 3800 m.a.s.l. In this place we will begin our adventure in bike riding by uncovered paths and roads that cross a unique ecosystem of the tropical Andes, with a bit of luck and a good eye we will be able to observe wildlife such as theAndean Bear, the Andean CondorBearded helmetcrest hummingbird, etc. After a few kilometers of road we will start one of the most exciting descents of Colombia: “El Desquite”, which with its almost 30 km of length is considered one of the longest trails for the Enduro MTB (All Mountain).

What an amazing ride! Thanks Trail Hunters Colombia! Going on a business trip to Manizales, I took an extra day to MTB. I wanted to ride a natural, enduro oriented trails. Got in touch with Trail Hunters Colombia and they put together an epic one day ride. We did the whole El Desquite! Very well organized, from breakfast to dinner! I started planning this ride with Trail Hunters months before! Great communication via WhatsApp, we fine tuned all details, we met in Manizales the evening before the ride to make sure everything was ok. Great experience and highly recommended! They know the area, the trails, etc. they will take care of you from the beginning til the end! Manizales is the “capital” of enduro MTB in Colombia! Trail Hunters have several options for any skill level and time! Can’t wait for my next ride there!

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. Simón 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.
