ALTOS
ALTOS is a company that allows cyclists to travel through Colombia on their road bikes while their non-cyclist companions enjoy all the cultural activities this country has to offer. This is a Colombian company that will guide you to meet its culture while practicing the best sport in the world.
ALTOS was created by two siblings from Manizales whose family has been united by a cycling life style. They´ve witnessed and have been part of several accomplishments by Colombian cyclists. In ALTOS we believe this sport is the best way to meet good friends, share time with relatives, and test your mental and physical limits.

CLIMB OF THE DAY ALTO DE RISARALDA
Today we will have our first contact with the coffee lands of Caldas. We will ride along roads little known to tourism in our country. We will cross the Cauca River and go up through Risaralda, crowning the ALTO DE BELALCÁZAR. Then we will pedal along the crest of the mountain range, enjoying the view and the coffee crops, arriving at the municipality of Belalcázar. We will have a delicious coffee in this iconic town, and then descend again to our private house. It is very important that we rest today and recover our legs, because tomorrow we will face a very important challenge.

CLIMB OF THE DAY ALTO DEL GUALÍ
After breakfast, you can decide whether to do the entire stage by bike or do half of it by car. Either way, today will be a demanding day. We will ascend the HIGHEST PAVED ROAD in Colombia. On the way to the top, you can observe how the vegetation and climate change, as well as feel how oxygen gradually decreases. The fight will be worth it because we will end up in an active volcano that has one of the most beautiful landscapes in our country. In the afternoon, you will rest your legs in the relaxing hot springs of Termales Hotel.
