Become one of the riders to have tackled the Alto de Letras!

The Alto de Letras is one of the longest climb in the world – but in Colombia, we like saying it IS the longest climb on earth! With 82km and nearly 3900 meters of vertical ascent, it is definitely one of the most challenging climb ever. Join us in this truly amazing experience and become one of the only few cyclists who have tackled Letras.

For riders living close to sea level, we include in this tour some preparation easy rides at altitude around Bogota (2600 meters above sea level) so that they have a few days to get used to high altitude (the Alto de Letras stands at 3677 meters above sea level).
