About Us
Our journey began with a simple love for coffee, cycling, and a dream of creating meaningful connections. Johana, with her passion for coffee, and Marcel, an avid mountain biker, both shared a deep love for exploring off-the-beaten-path places in Colombia. In the wake of the pandemic, we started as a remote cyclist café, a humble spot where riders could refuel, share stories, and recharge for their adventures. Little did we know, this small endeavor would grow into Casa de Ciclistas, one of the most popular restaurants in Guatapé, and Mountain Bike Colombia, a premier cycling adventure company redefining wilderness exploration in Colombia.
At the heart of everything we do is a profound respect for Colombia’s stunning natural beauty, its vibrant communities, and the people who visit us. Together with Mountain Bike Colombia, we’ve created something truly special—combining unforgettable cycling adventures with the joy of sharing wholesome, locally sourced food. Our trails lead riders far beyond the usual tourist paths, immersing them in the breathtaking landscapes of Colombia’s mountains, jungles, and valleys. Each ride is more than just an adventure—it’s a connection to the land, the people who call it home, and the flavors that nourish body and soul.
We believe that meaningful partnerships with remote campesino and indigenous communities, founded on respect, trust, and a shared vision, can help create new opportunities to uplift these communities, prioritize the preservation of Colombia's virgin wilderness spaces, foster sustainable livelihoods, while honoring their rich cultural traditions.
We're on a mission to elevate your Colombian experience
We value deep connections with Colombia’s indigenous communities in the Amazon and campesinos in the Andes, built on respect, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainable tourism. Together, we support local livelihoods, protect Colombia’s biodiversity, and honor cultural heritage, empowering communities to share their stories.
At Casa de Ciclistas, we welcome adventurers and cyclists into a space that celebrates community and authenticity. Sourcing ingredients from the regions where we ride, we honor local farmers and traditions while crafting meals that reflect the heart of Colombia.
Whether you’re enjoying our coffee, savoring our dishes, or discovering hidden adventures, we’re here to share Colombia’s beauty with you—one trail, one meal, and one unforgettable experience.
