The morning air tastes of cold dust and wet grass as the convoy climbs out of Medellín toward cornfields and dairy pastures. Engines rumble, gravel spits under the ATVs and the mountains close in — slopes press around you while distant waterfalls call from the ravines. After an hour and a half on gravel tracks and forest clearings you swap mud-splattered gloves for a harness and the sky.

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking boots protect your feet during the ATV section on gravel and uneven trails.
