THE ADVENTURE – DAY BY DAY

DAY 1 – Medellín → Magdalena Medio

We leave Medellín early, climbing into the Valle de San Nicolás before beginning a long and scenic descent from the Andean Cordillera toward the Magdalena Medio.

As the altitude drops, the landscapes change dramatically. Mountain roads give way to remote gravel tracks, river crossings, and dense green surroundings. We gradually disconnect from the city and enter a protected natural reserve, riding deeper into wild territory.

A demanding and rewarding first day that sets the tone for the expedition: adventure riding, immersion in nature, and total disconnection.

DAY 2 – Magdalena Medio → Norcasia

The day begins in the warm lowlands of the Magdalena Medio, riding through Doradal before heading off-pavement into vast rural landscapes.

We cross cattle ranches, buffalo farms, and palm oil plantations, following flowing gravel roads and crossing rivers as the scenery opens wider and more remote. This is classic adventure riding: long stretches, dust, space, and freedom.

By late afternoon, we arrive in Norcasia, where we end the day at the viewpoints overlooking the Amaní Reservoir. As the sun sets over the water and surrounding mountains, it becomes clear why this region is so special.

DAY 3 – Norcasia | Off-Bike Nature Experience

We wake up to a peaceful sunrise over the Amaní Reservoir. Today, the motorcycles rest.

The morning is spent exploring the La Miel River by boat, reaching hidden waterfalls and enjoying time in the water surrounded by untouched jungle. It’s a refreshing and immersive contrast to the previous riding days.

After a traditional local lunch back in Norcasia, we head out again by boat to explore the reservoir itself, navigating between mountains and enjoying the calm atmosphere. The day ends with a sunset on the water, one of the most relaxing and memorable moments of the tour. A full reset day — physically and mentally. 

DAY 4 – Norcasia → Medellín

Our return to Medellín follows a spectacular and varied route.
We first ride toward the San Diego Lagoon, an ancient volcanic crater surrounded by lush vegetation and known for its thermal waters. From there, we continue toward Florencia, descend to Puente Linda, and cross from Caldas into Antioquia, where we stop for lunch.

In the afternoon, the ride turns mountainous again as we climb back into the Andean Cordillera, passing through Nariño and Sonzón. Endless curves, changing climates, and wide views accompany us back through the Valle de San Nicolás, before descending into Medellín.

A strong, satisfying final day — the perfect closure to the expedition.
