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!
The ride is an absolute epic one. The landscape you get to see is amazing aas you go through beatiful nature and aggresive trails if you choose to. The time went endless as I was having tons of fun. The crew is really dedicate and the give the extra for you to have a great time. Thanks guys
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!
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. 👌🏼
