Other Clothes:

  • 2 or 3 light shirts (t-shirts or similar)
  • 2 or 3 underwear
  • Lightweight shorts
  • Bathing Suit (optional - we may have the option to swim in rivers or waterfalls, but sometimes it is during our ride and it easier to do in bike clothes)
  • Light nylon or other quick dry long pants
  • Mid-weight thermal layer or light fleece for evenings
  • Cap or sun hat

Biking Equipment:

  • Hydration Pack and/or bikepacking bags

Other:

  • Shoes to walk/hike in (If you ride in bike shoes with cleats, bring a pair of low hikers, running shoes, or something similar, water/hiking shoes can work really well. If you ride in non-cleat shoes, a pair of crocs or sandals can be nice if your biking shoes get wet)
  • Toiletries and Medications
  • Sun Block
  • Phone/Camera and charge cord
  • Small headlight (in case of emergency)
  • Ear plugs (we try to stay in quiet hotels, but Colombia can sometimes be loud)
