About us

Colombia Adventure Moto Tours was started in Medellín by Sam Carlson, an American rider who chose to build the business of his dreams here.

Our story

From Charlotte to the Andes.

Sam spent most of his life in Charlotte, North Carolina. One day he decided to leave that life behind, sell his belongings and move to Colombia.

Once in Medellín, its vibrant culture, its mountains and the warmth of its people convinced him this was the place. Today the tours run from the streets of Medellín to the Andes, designed to experience this diverse country on two wheels.
