Anden Tours: guided mountain bike tours from Cucunubá across the Andes
Small-group MTB, enduro, gravel and e-bike tours in Colombia, based in Cucunubá near Bogotá. Routes, levels, 2026 prices and who they suit.
Anden Tours is a small mountain bike operator based in Cucunubá, a colonial town two hours north of Bogotá surrounded by steep green hills. They have run guided mountain bike and trekking tours in Colombia since 2013, with groups of six riders at most. Their site has German and English versions.
We know these trails. Between 2022 and 2023 we ran our own enduro days in Cucunubá: a lift took riders to the top of the mountain, and we rode down trails built by local downhill and enduro riders, with names like El Abismo (The Abyss) and The Snake. The last trail of the day dropped straight into town, in time for lunch.

Expect 50 to 60 km a day and up to 1,000 meters of climbing. The price includes the airport transfer, lodging, breakfast and lunch, a guide and a support vehicle.
The enduro tour starts on the Siete Montañas trails in Cucunubá, continues to Manizales, where Enduro World Series races have been held, stops at the Santa Rosa hot springs and ends in Salento, in the coffee region.
Who it suits
Anden Tours fits riders who want to see the Andes from the saddle with a local who knows the trails, and who are fine with long days at altitude: Cucunubá sits at 2,590 m and parts of the routes go higher. If you’ve never ridden off-road, the e-bike Backroad tour is the gentlest option; ask us whether a shorter ride can be arranged.
If you’re in Bogotá and only have a morning, a city ride is a better fit: see our guide to Bogotá bike tours.
