Today we will face a challenging route around CALDAS. The fist part is the biggest climb of the day and then we will face some cool downhills. We will end the ride crossing the Cauca River (The second largest river of Colombia) to get to our farm.

In the farm, our non cycling companions will have the day to go to a local coffee farm to learn the whole process of the Colombian coffee. At night we will make home made pizza in our wood oven.

La joya de la corona, la etapa reina. Hoy será el día mas exigente sobre la bici, haremos una montada que pocos locales conocen. Es un terreno poco explorado lo que hace de este día un gran aventura. Cafetales vírgenes al turismo.

En la tarde volveremos a la finca a celebrar! Nuestros acompañantes habrán hecho una de las muchas actividades que hay (Pesca, parque acuático, etc). En nuestra última noche tendremos una clase de culinario impartida por nuestro chef invitado.
