Medellín Mountain Bike Coffee Tour & Spa: Ride, Taste & Relax in Arví Park
Pedal out of Medellín into Arví Park for a six-kilometer mountain-bike ride, a hands-on coffee tour at Don Leandro farm, and a restorative coffee steam bath and massage. This private four-hour experience pairs easy-to-moderate singletrack with cultural insight into Colombian coffee production.
The Experience
Before You Go
Expect mixed trail conditions
Trails include packed dirt, short rocky sections, and roots—shifts in traction are common after rain.
Bring local cash for extras
Small purchases at the farm or market stalls are often cash-preferred despite the tour inclusions.
Hydration and snacks
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water and a light snack—there’s a café but the ride can spike your energy needs.
Phone and camera protection
Damp forest and sudden showers mean a waterproof phone case or dry bag is smart for electronics.
