Through their journal, Mateo Medina, Andres Arroyave and Julian Trujillo take us with them on this long journey across Colombia, a land of which so many bikers dream, or at least the most adventurous. Guaipunare Route. From El Llano to the Amazon.

The country of García Márquez’s magical realism, Colombia is recognized worldwide for many things, not least its coffee and music, but among adventure motorcycling enthusiasts it is also known as a riding paradise. It has routes for all tastes and experience levels, but we wanted a real adventure route, a physical and mental challenge for us and our bikes, the Ducati Desert X.
And that’s why we ventured into the most remote areas of the country, the departments of Vichada and Guainía, to reach one of the most incredible places not only in Colombia, but in the world, the Cerros de Mavacure.

1300 km on asphalt. 2000 km off-road.

We knew it wouldn’t be an easy route, with 1300 km of asphalt and almost 2000 km of off road making up a journey that has undoubtedly marked our lives.

“A journey through legendary lands where time seems to have stopped, where reality is even more fantastic than fiction itself: the Guaipunare adventure would begin here.”
