Beschrijving
Enjoy a mountain biking experience at over 7,500 feet (2,300 meters) above sea level, where the culture of flowers meets the adrenaline of the Andean forest in Santa Elena.
The ascent to the heart of the mountain:
We will pick you up from your hotel to escape the heat of the valley and ascend to Santa Elena, a mountain village famous for its flowers and cool climate. Here, we will prepare the bicycles and perform a brief technical check before setting off on the ride.
Between forest and tradition:
The route will take us along a mix of rural roads that wind through native pine and oak forests. You'll feel the fresh air and, hopefully, experience the mystical mist that envelops these forests. We will pass by traditional 'fincas silleteras' (saddle-making farms), where you will understand why this place is the cultural heart of the region.
On-time return:
We will conclude the activity by descending to Medellín, arriving in the city around 1:30 PM, just in time for you to enjoy your afternoon or have lunch in your preferred area.
