The Alto de Letras Express covers 167+ km and 3,800 m of elevation across 3 days. It is the full all-inclusive Alto de Letras experience — airport transfers, premium bike, full kit, daily sport massage, bilingual guide, support vehicle, and mechanic — compressed into a format for cyclists who cannot take a full week.
This is not an abbreviated version of the Challenge. The support structure is identical. The riding is demanding. Day 2 is the main summit attempt. The difference is duration: 3 days instead of 7, 167+ km instead of 285+ km.
