While our published itineraries are industry benchmarks, the heartbeat of Elephant Moto is the custom-designed tour. We understand that every group of riders has a unique vision for their perfect vacation. Most of the guests who come through our doors are looking for a bespoke experience built specifically for their needs and wants.

We are adventure architects. Whether you are a group of lifelong friends or a private club, we have the capacity to build an expedition of any length and terrain type. You bring the vision; we provide the local knowledge and expert feedback to ensure the logistics are flawless. From 100% pavement tours to wonderful dual-purpose off-road and paved routes, we combine your preferences with our years of Colombian expertise and local knowledge to make your dream ride a reality.

One of the biggest myths with potential visitors is that you must wait for a specific window to ride Colombia. While general searches might suggest December through March as the best time to come, the truth is that you can ride in Colombia 365 days a year.

Because we are located just four degrees north of the equator, we don’t have traditional seasons—we have verticality. In the Andes, the elevation is more important than the calendar. Even during the “rainier” months of April or October, the tropical sun often clears the asphalt by midday, and the moisture only serves to settle the dust on our legendary dual-purpose tracks. Our “green season” offers the most vibrant landscapes and quieter roads for the savvy rider who knows that in the tropics, you can experience “all four seasons in a single day”.

The foundation of Elephant Moto is technical excellence. Our founder, Mauricio “Micho” Escobar, is a certified BMW Motorrad instructor who has served as a marshal for the International GS Trophy multiple times, Albania, Namibia and Romania. As well as The Great Getaway for BMW Motorrad.

Micho and our team of BMW-certified guides don’t just lead tours; they design them from the perspective of high-level riding expertise and decades of global exploration. This pedigree ensures that every route is vetted for maximum engagement and every technical challenge is supported by professional coaching and mechanical back-up.

Colombia is the most biodiverse country on the planet for its size, containing 314 distinct ecosystems. Riding here is a sensory overload: you can transition from the 98°F/37ºC tropical heat of the Magdalena River Valley to 44°F/6ºC at high mountain passes within a few hours.

Our expeditions traverse all three ranges of the Colombian Andean Mountains, taking you from the high-altitude forests of Los Nevados National Park to the red-rock switchbacks of the Chicamocha Canyon. In Colombia, motorcycle tires wear out on the edges first because the mountain twisties are literally endless.

Premium adventure requires premium support. Every Elephant Moto expedition includes a 24/7 support vehicle for luggage, towing, and hydration. For Colombia’s variable climate, we recommend technical layers and well-ventilated suits. We handle the complexities—from airport transfers to hotel reservations, dinner bookings, and all the small details—so you can focus entirely on the ride.
