This tour starts with who you ride with. The Alto de Letras — Women Riders Only Cycling Tour brings together a group of women cyclists of similar fitness levels, validated before departure through a short questionnaire. No mixed dynamics, no pace pressure from riders at different fitness levels, no compromises on the group experience.
The route is Alto de Letras — the world’s longest paved road climb at 81 km and 3,700 m of gain. The difference here is in how you ride it: with flexible starting points adapted to the group’s profile, an e-bike option available to all riders, and protocols designed for the specific dynamics of an all-women group. Safety in the field, composition of the support team, and the pace of each day reflect that this is a women’s tour by design, not by label.
Your base is Casa de Campo La Giralda, a 4.92‑rated favorite among cyclists located right at kilometer 0 of Alto de Letras. Each day ends not in a standard hotel room, but in a lush resort‑style countryside haven with pools, open social areas, and kiosks where you can unwind and connect with your fellow riders before the next stage of the ascent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Colombia safe for women traveling in a small group?
A: BTR’s women-only tours operate on professionally vetted routes with a dedicated support vehicle at all times. The group is never split and is accompanied by a bilingual guide throughout. For specifics on our safety protocols, see our FAQ.
Q: What does ‘flexible starting points’ mean?
A: Alto de Letras and the Alto El Sifón approach can be started at different elevation points depending on the group’s fitness profile and conditions on the day. This decision is made collectively with the guide each morning — it is not a limitation, it is an adaptation that makes the challenge achievable for the whole group.
Q: Is this tour suitable for the e-bike?
A: E-bikes are available as a standard option. No stigma, no extra cost. Notice is required at the moment of booking. It is a tool that allows every rider to complete the climb at her own pace.
