One Day: Palomino - Caribbean Coast
Take a day off and discover the beauties of the Caribean coast.
Description: If you are afraid your riding skills aren't yet good enough for a dirtroad-adventure, then come with us to Palomino. It is an "easy rider"-feeling to cruise along the coastal line of the Caribean. In Palomino we will have lunch at the beach and spend some time there relaxing in the sand or doing the water tubing down the Buritaca River. On our way back to Santa Marta well stop at some beautiful viewpoints, you can taste the exotic fruits or juices they sell in the villages along the street and maybe you might even want to try a little dirt road loop which takes us back to our headquarter place in Bonda.
What to expect: This guided tour can be done with no offroad experience at all. 100 % tarmac if you want so - easy dirt road part is possible though.

One Day: Minca - Coffee & More
Enjoy your day in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
Description: It is impossible to stay in Santa Marta and not visit Minca. The little village up there in the world's tallest coastal mountain range is known for its beautiful nature and its excellent coffee.We start in Bonda with a short easy offroad loop to feel comfortable on our bikes. Then we head to the hills of Minca on a winding tarmac road. The adventure starts right there, promising dirt roads wherever we go. They lead us to "La Victoria Coffee Plantation" - a place where you might want to do an (optional) tour and learn about all the coffee-making process and of course taste the Colombian high quality coffee. We'll have a little lunch there before we go on to see some waterfalls and amazing viewpoints which will complete our day up in the mountains of Minca before we arrive back at Santa Marta and Bonda.
What to expect:
This tour is not for absolute beginners. You should have some basic experience with offroad riding. The trails are easy as long as it is not during rain season.

One Day: San Javier - Hidden Paradise
Discover the real thing - San Pedro & San Javier
Description: This tour is yours if you love to leave the more touristic paths behind and go exploring. We start in Bonda/Santa Marta on the highway 90 and head south. A little tarmac must be done, but then - after some 50 km - we quit the highway and take the dirt road that leads us to the villages of San Pedro and San Javier. The beautiful Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta opens up for us and you can just ride through and enjoy. Fantastic views along with perfect dirt roads - you'll wish it never ends. We'll have lunch up there in San Javier where you can see the "real" Colombian life in the coffee area. There is no touristic touch at all - you'll have a very privileged insight in Colombian everyday life, including a little tour around a private coffee farm an lunch in the only local eatery.
