Description
A motorcycle tour for intermediate/advanced riders who want to blast across the desert "mad-max" style, enjoying some of the best enduro riding in Colombia.
From the rolling sand dunes and turquoise water to the sacred indigenous cultures. There are plenty of local attractions to keep us busy for the day. The riding today is epic. Flat out over hard, sandy plains, ducking in and out between cactus fields and rocky mountain climbs are the order of the day.
