Day trips from Riohacha
One day, a new spot.
Ride somewhere new without changing hotels: another beach, a downwinder along the coast or the desert of Cabo de la Vela. Back in Riohacha in the evening.

Every trip depends on the wind and the group. We tell you which day and which spot have the best conditions.

Day trip questions
What level do I need?
You should ride on your own. For the downwinder you also need to stay upwind safely. If you are on your way there, combine the day trip with a coaching session.
What if there is no wind?
We only go when the forecast is right. If the wind changes, we move the day or choose another spot.
What is included?
It depends on the trip. When you write to us we confirm transport, supervision, gear and price.
