Don’t just follow a map. Build your own story with the Elephant Moto Family.
At Elephant Moto, we know that for many riders, the best way to see the world is with the people you already trust. While our 10-day reference tours are industry benchmarks, the heartbeat of our operation is the custom-tailored private tours.
We are not just a tour operator; we are Adventure Architects. We specialize in taking the “dream ride” discussed over beers by a group of friends and turning it into a logistical reality. Whether you are a motorcycle club seeking your own unique riding experience or a group of riding buddies looking for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, we build the route around your needs, your timeframe, and your preferred level of grit.
The process of building a custom tour is a collaboration. You bring the vision—how many days you want to ride, the type of terrain you love, and the “vibe” of the group—and we provide the insider local knowledge to make it happen.
- Any Length & Type: Want a quick 5-day mountain blast or a 20-day trans-Colombian odyssey? We scale the logistics to fit your schedule. We can design 100% paved routes through legendary Andean switchbacks or technical dual-purpose tracks that push the limits of the BMW R 1300 GS.
- Expert Feedback: We don’t just say “yes” to every pin on a map. We provide professional feedback on daily mileage, weather patterns, and road conditions to ensure your group stays safe and has the “grin factor” turned up to eleven every single day.
Don’t let a generic weather app dictate your adventure. One of the biggest advantages of a custom tour is that you can ride in Colombia 365 days a year. Because we are only four degrees north of the equator, we don’t have traditional seasons—we have verticality. If it’s raining in one valley, the sun is likely shining at the top of the next pass. Our “green season” often offers the most vibrant landscapes and the best “grip” on our off-road sections. When you book a custom tour, we help you navigate these microclimates to find the best riding conditions, no matter what month you land in Bogotá.
When you book a private custom tour, you aren’t just hiring a guide; you are leveraging the infrastructure of an Official BMW Motorrad Partner.
- Certified Leadership: Your route is vetted by a team led by Mauricio “Micho” Escobar, a certified BMW instructor and three-time GS Trophy Marshal.
- The Gold Standard Fleet: Your group will be mounted on the latest BMW GS models, including the flagship R 1300 GS, maintained to showroom standards.
- Pro-Level Support: Every private tour includes a dedicated 24/7 support vehicle with space for your luggage, professional tools, hydration, and a trailer.
A custom tour doesn’t just mean a custom road; it means a custom off-the-bike experience. We curate your stays in boutique hotels, historic haciendas, and eco-lodges like the bamboo cabins of La Cazacha that reflect the true soul of Colombia. We handle the reservations and the logistics so your group can focus on “Elephant Hour”—the social highlight of every day where the best stories are told and friends become family.
Custom Tour FAQ – Expert Intelligence
- While we can accommodate any size, our private group expeditions typically range from 6 to 10 riders for the best balance of cohesion and logistical efficiency.
- Absolutely. Many groups start their expedition with a day at the Elephant School of Riding to polish their off-road skills before heading into the mountains.
- No. Your license from home is valid as long as it has an endorsement for big bikes and uses the Latin alphabet.
- That’s the beauty of custom. We can design “split routes” where some riders take technical dirt while others enjoy the pavement, meeting at the same boutique hotel for dinner.
- Yes. We are experts in “two-up” touring and can select routes and accommodations that make the trip as incredible for the passenger as it is for the pilot.
