Three mornings a week, a group leaves from Casa de Ciclistas on the malecón and rides through Guatapé before the town wakes up. The pace is relaxed. The company is good. And the route takes you through parts of Guatapé that most visitors never see on foot.
It’s free and open to everyone. Registration is required — it takes one minute.
When and Where
- Days: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
- Time: 7:30am
- Starting point: Casa de Ciclistas, malecón, Guatapé
Register here before you arrive. We’re on the waterfront — look for the café with bikes out front.
Who It’s For
The ride is open to anyone. You don’t need cycling experience, a high fitness level, or special gear. If you can ride a bike, you’re welcome.
It’s a good fit for:
- Day-trippers who want to see Guatapé from two wheels before the crowds arrive
- Backpackers and solo travelers looking for a low-key way to meet people
- Families with older kids who can handle a casual morning ride
- Anyone who wants a different perspective on the town before heading to La Piedra
If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, ask us before you arrive — see the WhatsApp button below.
What to Bring
- Comfortable clothes you can move in
- Closed-toe shoes
- Water
- Sunscreen if you run warm
For anything else — or if you have questions about bikes — reach out before you come.
What You Might See
Guatapé in the early morning is a different place. The streets are quiet, the light is low over the reservoir, and the town is still settling into the day. On the ride you’ll move through neighborhoods, backroads, and lakeside paths that rarely appear in the usual tourist itinerary.
It’s not a guided tour and there’s no commentary — just a group of people on bikes, moving through a place worth seeing slowly.
Why Casa de Ciclistas Hosts It
Casa de Ciclistas started as a place for cyclists. The name says it — house of cyclists. The free morning ride is an extension of that: a way to share the town with visitors who want more than a photo at the top of the rock.
It’s also one of the simplest things we do. Three mornings a week, bikes, no charge. That’s it.
Breakfast or Coffee After the Ride
The ride ends back at Casa de Ciclistas. The kitchen opens at 7:30am, so by the time you’re done, breakfast is fully on.
Shakshuka, Turkish eggs, fresh sourdough, Colombian coffee, pastries, smoothies — everything made from scratch. It’s a good way to finish the morning before heading to La Piedra del Peñol or wherever the rest of the day takes you.
