What Kinds Of Transportation Are Used On Our MTB Adventures?

Buckle up because depending on the adventure you’ve chosen, you could be in for an exciting ride! Many of the remote wilderness spaces where we conduct our adventures are far from Colombia’s tourist hot spots and are often not paved. Colombia’s Amazon region is a very good example, at nearly 40% of country’s total landmass, the vast majority of the region has no roads or even trails. Since our off-road MTB wilderness adventures take us to trails that are very remote, we often need to utilize an arsenal of transportation options that’s straight out of a spy movie. From flights, trucks, and vans pimped out with custom bike racks, to local transport, moto-cargas, dugouts, canoes, and small aircraft that land on jungle runways. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance – The traditional Colombian “chivas,” those brightly-colored, party-on-wheels buses and jeeps straight out of a carnival fevered dream. So when it comes to transportation to get you to the trail head, the journey to mountain biking nirvana is guaranteed to be as wild an adventure as riding the actual trails themselves!
