Unlike mass-tourism bike rides, we offer an exclusive boutique experience limited to only 8 guests. This semi-private format ensures a personalized, intimate journey where you’re a friend, not just a number in a crowd.

Our guides are passionate local urban bikers who live the "La Buena" philosophy—a spirit of mutual respect and joy that connects us deeply with the neighborhoods we visit. Because the community loves us, you’ll experience a warmer, more authentic side of Medellín where locals greet us as we pass.

We’ve curated the "Essential" route: a seamless blend of historical transformation, hidden local spots, and authentic flavors. You’ll taste the city’s soul through hand-picked traditional snacks while our premium E-bikes glide you effortlessly through the hills and parks. Choose this if you want to skip the "tourist traps" and discover the real heart of Medellín through the eyes of the people who truly know and love it. High quality, small groups, big soul.
