Our Story: Passion, Adventure, and Colombia
Meet the passionate team behind ADV Riders Colombia and discover what fuels our drive for adventure.
Who We Are
Hi, I’m Gregory Cardinal — founder of Adventure Riders Colombia.
​
I’ve spent the last seven years riding across this incredible country, building routes that go far beyond what most travelers ever get to see. Originally from Belgium, I’ve made Medellín my home, and Colombia my playground. Through DriveMedellin.com and the Medellín Expats Motorcycle Club, I’ve helped hundreds of riders discover the freedom and beauty this country has to offer — both on and off the bike.
​
Adventure Riders Colombia was born from a simple idea: to create premium, worry-free motorcycle experiences for people who value quality, connection, and real adventure. Every tour I design is based on first-hand knowledge, local relationships, and a deep respect for the terrain and culture. From remote jungle trails to iconic mountain passes and charming colonial towns — this is Colombia beyond the guidebooks.
​
We take care of everything: top-tier bikes, protective gear, carefully selected accommodations, great food, and full support. You just show up and ride.
​
If you're someone who appreciates the road less traveled — but still wants it done right — then you're in the right place.
​
Let’s ride.
Our Mission
Adventure Riders Colombia is not a motorcycle tour company like the others. We deliver fully all-inclusive, high-end adventure experiences designed for riders who expect more than just a route and a bike.
​
From the moment you land in Colombia to the day you depart, we take care of everything. Airport pickup, premium motorcycles, professional guides, a dedicated support vehicle, and carefully selected hotels — every detail is handled to ensure a seamless, comfortable, and exceptional journey.
​
To make each adventure truly unforgettable, a professional photographer accompanies our tours, capturing the ride, the landscapes, and the moments that define your journey. We carefully select our accommodations, partners, and logistics to offer an experience that blends adventure, comfort, and exclusivity.
This is elite adventure motorcycling — done properly.
Meet the Founder
Originally from Belgium, I began my career in the premium automotive world as a BMW salesperson — an experience that shaped my eye for quality, performance, and customer service. Working with one of the most respected brands in the industry taught me the importance of precision, trust, and delivering excellence — values I carry into everything I do today.
​
After relocating to Medellín, I founded the Medellín Expats Motorcycle Club, bringing together a vibrant community of riders from around the world. What started as a passion quickly evolved into something bigger — a mission to showcase Colombia’s raw beauty through unforgettable motorcycle adventures.
Today, that mission lives on through Adventure Riders Colombia, where I continue to design and lead curated riding experiences built on professionalism, authenticity, and a genuine love for the road.
Why Colombia?
Colombia is a country of breathtaking contrasts, where lush jungles, sprawling coffee plantations, towering Andean peaks, and pristine tropical beaches come together to create an adventurer’s paradise. For riders seeking the ultimate thrill, Colombia offers roads that test your skills and landscapes that will leave you speechless.
​
Our experienced team is your gateway to Colombia’s most stunning and remote regions, providing exclusive access to hidden gems and untouched terrain that few travelers ever get to explore.
