Colombia Cycling Camp

Colombia is fast becoming the Mecca of road cycling and the mountain range above Medellin in Colombia’s Antioquia region is the favourite training spot for pro riders.

Join our expert ride leaders for an incredible week of cycling in this cycling-obsessed country. Cycling is Colombia’s national sport and every weekend thousands of cyclists take to the roads around Medellin. Little wonder that Colombia has produced so many top pro riders in the past few years!

During the week-long camp you’ll be based at the luxury 4-star Hotel Movich, the preeminent cycling hotel in the country, used by Team Ineos, Bora-Hansgrohe, Deceuninck-Quick-Step and other top pro teams. The hotel is situated at an altitude of 2,200m (7,200ft) and within 5 minutes of Medellin’s International airport making travel in and out so easy. Starting and finishing at the hotel, the daily rides will cover many of the training routes and climbs used by local pros such as Rigoberto Uran and Fernando Gaviria. The rides are tough and the high altitudes add to the challenge, guaranteeing you’ll return home super-fit and ready to impress your local grupetto.

Our regular staff members will provide you with the usual first-class Thomson Support and will be joined by local Colombian riders including Mauricio Ardila, ex-Rabobank professional and winner of the 2004 Tour of Britain. Join us for a week of spectacular and challenging riding in the new hot-spot of road cycling.
