Day 1: Medellín → San Jerónimo → Santa Fé de Antioquia → Anzá → Medellín | Total kilometers: 200 km (aprox.)
We kick things off riding northwest from Medellín, climbing into the mountains on winding roads with sweeping views of the valleys below.
Our first stop is the laid-back colonial town of San Jerónimo, a prelude to one of the day’s highlights: crossing the Puente Colgante de Occidente, one of Latin America’s oldest suspension bridges. Riding across its creaky wooden planks feels like traveling back in time — motorcycle meets living history.
From there, we roll into Santa Fé de Antioquia, the former capital of the region and a jewel of colonial architecture. Its cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and centuries-old churches set the stage for exploring Colombia’s deep-rooted history. Grab a coffee, snap some photos, and soak in the atmosphere before hitting the road again.
Next comes the thrill: we follow the curves along the Cauca River, an exhilarating stretch perfect for pushing the throttle. In Anzá, we’ll cool down with a refreshing drink, and for those looking to relax, there’s an optional pool stop and lunch at Anzalik Hotel Boutique — a perfect mid-ride recharge.
The journey back is just as epic. We cross the Cauca River again at Bolombolo, ride past Cerro Tusa, the world’s largest natural pyramid and a must for photos, then wind through the green hills near Amagá before cruising back into Medellín. By the time we return, you’ll be sun-kissed, dusted, and grinning ear to ear from a ride packed with culture, scenery, and pure adrenaline.
