My experience with Trail Hunters was amazing. I contacted them to enquire about doing two days of Downhill and Single Track and they definitely delivered. Paula responded to me super fast with all the relevant information of the trails and what would be included in the package. When I arrived in Manizales Simon and Paula met with me at my hostel the day before to discuss the plan for the following day of riding. Simon was my guide.

The first day we rode the bike park in town and then a few other trails close to Manizales. The trails ranged from technical downhill to flowly fast trails and all the way to single track through coffee plantations.

The second day we drove out of Manizales to ride some of the big name trails and again these were downhill, technical, flowy and single track. We also done an amazing scenic enduro ride with a climb to a beautiful mountain ridge and rode through little villages and coffee plantations and then descended the other side of the mountain. They saved the best until. The two famous trails El Infernal and El Bisono these 2 trails are the real deal. Steep, fast, flowy and with huge jumps and big features. Definitely my favourite part of the two days was riding these two trails. Epic.

Most of the trails we rode get regular maintenance from the local biking community. On both days after riding we stopped for a traditional Colombia lunch. During the day we also stopped for various snacks and drinks throughout the day at different locations. Paula and Simon were very professional and are great hosts. If you are thinking about booking a ride with these guys don't think about it, just do it. Totally worth ever dollar. 👌🏼

Our experience with Trail Hunters and Simon was excellent. He came to our accommodation with the bicycles, water bottles and some snacks and off we went into some very nice paths through the coffee region near Manizales. He was attentive to make sure no one is left behind and everyone can follow at their pace, pausing whenever needed. He took videos of photos of us with his own camera but also with ours. We really felt that he tried to tailor the experience to our preferences and he had a positive and friendly attitude from beginning to end. The scenery was nice along the way, we saw some parrots flying by, the uphill part was challenging and the downhill part was certainly fun.

I reached out trailhunters for a two days full immersion mountain biking trip in Manizales area. I like to plan my rides in details and then just follow the flow of the day. Paula and I met before to plan the trip. I loved both the attention to details and the flexibility in order to plan the best trip for me. The first day had it all: from challenging climbs to scenic flow single-tracks to bike park trails with jumps and drops. A second day of pure enduro riding, ranging from rough natural trails, rock gardens and super fun ditch trails to the most famous downhill tracks of the area. The specialized camber 27,5 provided was the perfect do-it-all bike for this trip. Of course she suffered a bit on the downhill trails. If you're planning a pure enduro/downhill tour maybe think about bringing your own bike. Although, I really recommend not to miss the all-mountain trails of the area, impressively beautiful! Simon's guidance was great and Paula was always there supporting with her beautiful smile!
Last but not the least, the food and all the tastes of local Colombian culture were amazing! I recommend also to stay at their hostel, great location! As a biking guide myself, I must say these guys are real professionals and deliver a top quality mountain bike experience.

What an amazing ride! Thanks Trail Hunters Colombia! Going on a business trip to Manizales, I took an extra day to MTB. I wanted to ride a natural, enduro oriented trails. Got in touch with Trail Hunters Colombia and they put together an epic one day ride. We did the whole El Desquite! Very well organized, from breakfast to dinner! I started planning this ride with Trail Hunters months before! Great communication via WhatsApp, we fine tuned all details, we met in Manizales the evening before the ride to make sure everything was ok. Great experience and highly recommended! They know the area, the trails, etc. they will take care of you from the beginning til the end! Manizales is the “capital” of enduro MTB in Colombia! Trail Hunters have several options for any skill level and time! Can’t wait for my next ride there!

We did the mule trail, which was quite challenging but very nice! The area is beautiful, you really get to see the coffee area. Simon and Paula have everything perfectly organised, including transport, and nice meals and places to stay. Very recommended for the ones who like a high level mtb challenge but also want to enjoy!

We found Trail Hunters online and inquired - we were so impressed with the amount of guidance and attentiveness over email before the trip, answering all of our questions about the tour and the region in general.

We did 2-days of downhill riding (w some climbing) on mountain roads and singletrack. The countryside is so scenic, passing through small communities, dogs and kids playing - high up on ridges descending into lush valleys.

A huge highlight was the hosts along the way, stopping into people's houses to be welcomed with a cup of coffee and food - learning about their lives, with Simon to interpret.

We started our second day up near an active volcano, watching it go off a bit before descending 10+ miles.

Hotels were top-notch. Meals were delicious. Rental bikes were great - glad we didn't need to brings ours to Colombia.

Thank you to Simon, Paula, Giovanni and all of the awesome hosts. If you're thinking about a trip with them -- do it!

Had a beautiful day with Simon from Trail Hunters who is a wonderful host along with his partner Paula. Had a chance to spend the day riding in the mountains enjoying quaint fincas, a coffee tour (delicious coffee tasting included 😍) and getting to know the city of Manizales. Their gear is awesome and Simon is very flexible at adjusting the day to suit your needs. Well organized, felt safe and well looked after. Highly recommended!

Riding with Trail Hunters far exceeded my expectations. Salento and Manizales are the most beautiful places I have ridden a bike. There was a good variety of trails and views and wildlife were incredible. The best thing about Trail Hunters is the staff. Sergio and Simon worked hard to provide a unique experience that was catered specifically to our interests and riding level. We rode all day long with lots of fun local food tasting and site seeing stops. Sergio's extensive knowledge of the area and experience as a biologist allowed us to see things that we would never have found on our own or with other guides. If you want a truly unique and wild mountain bike experience, Trail Hunters is the only way to go.
