Travel Is a Two-Way Dialogue.
A conversation between you and the place you visit. We've always believed the bicycle is the perfect translator.
Our Story
In 2021, as Colombia reopened, seven riders joined us on a week-long journey from Bogotá to Filandia by way of Alto de Letras. We left the capital with a humble van, and a mechanic on a moto. For most of them, it was the first time in Colombia.
Most asked to come back the following year. Then they brought others. Word spread the way it does in cycling communities, one rider to the next, until in 2023 we gave it a name and an identity. Colombici was born.
Everything since has followed the same brief: to design journeys that spark real cultural connections, inspire meaningful discovery, and support the places and people we visit.
Led by founders who live here, and stay involved in every step. That's the whole idea.
Meet the Founders
Maya BlancoCEO, Co-Founder
Born and raised in Bogotá. A master's degree from a business school in France, where she also lived and worked, and holds a French passport. A career in luxury branding followed, client service, account, and production, working across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the US. She brought that experience home to build and run Colombici.
Pan YamboonruangCreative Director, Co-Founder
Thai-born, Australian-educated. Two decades in global creative branding, as a creative director. He left that world to build Colombici's brand from the ground up.
One of us grew up here. One of us chose it. Both of us ride it. Partners in life first, Colombici is what they built together, still run day to day from Bogotá.
How We Work
Details you only learn by living here.
Every route is ridden and vetted by us before it's offered. We choose every hotel ourselves. Pace, distance and rest days are shaped around the group actually riding. A support vehicle, driver and mechanic travel with every trip, and no trip runs past ten riders. Small groups get more attention, not a bigger group photo.
Reserved: limited departures each season, up to eight riders, hosted in person by both founders. Private: your dates and your group, led by a professional guide and support team.
Proof numbers: 88.2 km / 54.8 mi, Alto El Sifón, the longest climb ever used in a UCI race. 4,149 m / 13,612 ft, the highest paved pass we ride. 2,650 m / 8,694 ft, Bogotá, our baseline altitude, not every ride.

A Two-Way Exchange
Travel shouldn't only take. We spend where it counts, the tiendas and cafés along each route, the family-run fincas, the mechanics who keep us rolling, real support for small, local businesses, not a chain or a kickback deal. Fair pay for the people we work with, support for ethical local makers and producers, and a real contribution to the communities that receive us, reciprocal travel, not just consumption. The cafés, farms, and mechanics named throughout this site aren't a curated list for show, they're who we actually spend with, every departure. Cycling becomes the vehicle for change.

On the Record
Change How You Travel.
We've watched it happen on almost every trip. Around day three, people stop sightseeing and start actually being here. That's the part no brochure can show you.
