Every detail is planned and curated, but not all are revealed here. Some moments are left intentionally off the itinerary: a meal in an unexpected place, a cultural moment shared with the community, or a challenge that reveals more of yourself. Discovery is part of the expedition.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted at the airport by our transport service for a seamless transfer to our boutique host hotel, nestled in the vibrant heart of Medellín. That evening, meet your fellow travelers and crew over a relaxed welcome dinner for the perfect start to the journey ahead.
Take a guided e-bike tour of the city (sponsored by the Mayor of Medellín) to see how sport has shaped its transformation. Or enjoy a free morning to explore at your own pace. We’ll gather for a local lunch, followed by a coffee experience, where we’ll preview the route and walk through maps. For those interested, an optional session in map reading and orienteering is available. The day closes with a special event dinner at one of Medellín’s top restaurants.
After a hearty breakfast, we transfer to the trailhead and begin the expedition. The route winds across ancient trails toward Santo Domingo, a vibrant mountain town known for its lively plaza and authentic charm. That evening, settle into a local hotel for a cultural stay, complete with a hearty dinner and the warmth of small-town Antioquia.
Fuel up with breakfast before setting out into Antioquia’s landscapes, moving through jungle valleys, rivers, and remote villages. This stage stretches into the evening on purpose so you experience the quiet thrill of moving under a night sky, one of the most peaceful and unforgettable moments of the expedition. The day concludes at a rustic lakeside lodge, where you’ll share a hearty dinner, rest well, and wake to a peaceful breakfast on the water before the final push.
After breakfast at the lodge, board a speedboat captained by our crew to reach a remote corner of Guatapé, a vast lake surrounded by green islands. From there, the day’s run/trek begins, with optional open-water crossing between islands before the final push to the finish line. That evening, celebrate with a closing dinner at a lakeside eco-resort for a night of connection and celebration.
Enjoy one last breakfast at the resort, followed by time to relax, swim, or simply take in the lakeside views. Depart carrying memories, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment that only a Terra Venture journey can spark. Optional airport hotel stays can be arranged to accommodate flight schedules.
Across Colombia’s ancient trails, from jungle paths to welcoming villages. An epic point-to-point run and fastpack through the lush beauty of Antioquia.
The expedition begins in Colombia’s historic railway region, passing through Cisneros before climbing along a river and into cool mountain air. The day closes in Santo Domingo, a colonial town where plaza life brings authentic Antioquian charm.
At first light, the trail follows one of Antioquia’s oldest routes across ridges, meadows, rivers, and the storied Purgatorio Bridge. Midday brings a stop in Alejandría, before rolling hills descend toward Guatapé Lake. The stage stretches into night, offering the rare calm of moving beneath a star-filled sky.
A speedboat ride carries you across Guatapé’s vast lake, a labyrinth of green islands. Remote trails and waterfalls lead to the finish at an eco-boutique hotel, where celebration, fresh food, and the satisfaction of a true expedition await.
From lush forests to soaring rock formations and island-dotted lakes, the landscape delivers awe at every turn.
