Alto de Letras Essential is designed for accomplished groups of cyclists who want to focus solely on the challenge, without complicated logistics or extra layers: professional on-route support, shared accommodation at our premium villa Casa de Campo La Giralda in Mariquita, breakfasts, dinners, a farewell lunch, and that’s it. Two nights, three days. 136+ kilometers. 3,800 meters of elevation gain.
Option: the challenge can be completed via the classic route through Fresno, or via the Líbano–Murillo route, passing through the beautiful Alto El Sifón.
This is not a lower-tier product — it is the most concentrated offering in the portfolio. It is a self-guided tour with no cultural program, no bilingual guide, and no daily massage. Just the climb, with mechanical support on route, a premium villa in Mariquita to recover before and after the summit, breakfasts, and dinners.
While cyclists conquer Alto de Letras, companions can also enjoy the trip at our beautiful facilities at Casa de Campo La Giralda, a premium villa in Mariquita featuring two swimming pools, hammock kiosks, and spacious green areas, specially set up to enjoy nature and relax.
