About this experience
We will take you on a day trip. We will pick you up by a private transportation and travel 1:30h, where we will arrive in the small authentic village of Venecia, little known by the tourist world, at the foot of the imposing mountain called Cerro Tusa! We will then leave for an expedition in an electrical mountain bike for several hours. You will be immersed in the heart of Colombia … Thanks to the electric assistance, we will be able to cover long distances in a short time and maybe even have the chance to observe iguanas, tatous, monkeys, ocelots and big cats, without forgetting the countless species of birds that come to feast on the exotic fruits like macaw, and the likes.
We will cycle along rivers, waterfalls, coffee plantations, traditional finca roads, mountain villages, and finish with a snack and a swim at an ecohotel where the pool has a breathtaking view of Cerro Tusa.
