Overview

Designed for those seeking adventure, movement and discovery, this mountain biking experience takes you beyond the city into the authentic island landscapes of Tierra Bomba, just 15 minutes from Cartagena. This journey blends sport, history, culture and nature into one dynamic island experience.
The ride combines adrenaline and exploration as we navigate rustic trails, natural vegetation, varying elevations and secluded beaches. After approximately two hours of riding, we reach Fuerte de San Ángel, where a local guide welcomes us with fresh coconut water and shares stories about this place and Cartagena’s early history.
We continue toward Bocachica to visit the impressive Fuerte de San Fernando, a key landmark in the city’s colonial defence system and a setting tied to pirate lore and maritime conquest.
The experience concludes with a seaside lunch prepared by local chefs specialising in balanced, nourishing cuisine, a moment to relax before returning by boat to Cartagena.
