Your video gives us, the viewers, a real sense of place; the countryside, the character of the towns and villages, the people, their friendliness. You are so lucky to be able to experience something that few of will ever see through our own eyes on our cycling travels. Thank you for the insight into Columbia. I hope you find coffee without sugar!
great video guys.. 14:46 that guy look like Nairo Quintana... 30:43 there are 2 Condor behind La Virgen
Thank you for coming to my country, thank you for showing KZread the magic of our roads.
Colombia is such a place! This series is pure art. Nice job once again!
thanks for your visit, come back soon!!
Those roads look pretty sketchy lucky guy had an experience local It's always interesting to see the latest mapp gear in action.
Guys, thank you so much to showing the beautiful Colombia 🇨🇴. Take care and ride safe. From a new fan for you.
Wow man more than 4000m of elevation!!!!! How was breathing up there? Great video man!!!
As always Excelent content, and I am so proud that your are showing the beatuy of our routes, hope all of u guys are having an amazing time here. Bless
The good coffee is to expensive for most locals and exported. Therefore generally the coffee in Columbia is pretty bad.

Yeah it makes me wonder. People says Colombia produces good coffee then how come the coffee tasted bad.
What a great video, Martijn. Excellent. I remember when I rode up Haleakala, had quite the headache until I got back below 2800. Love a long climb.

Great show, and a great adventure but please don't forget... the climb is not over until you are back safely at the bottom of the hill!
Love this Columbia series, the landscapes are so different to what we are used to in Europe and especially the UK for me.

You can try the Taiwan KOM Challenge, Total:105km , Altitude: 0m - 3275m, i think it is on par with this climb.
I am convinced y’all are Latinos now welcome to the familia and im happy to see a Latino part of the group! ❤ obviously loving this series stay safe.

The animal that you saw in the hotel is an armadillo.
COLUMBIA IS A NICE PLACE, GUYS U ARE NEXT TO THE BRAZIL SO I THINK U NEED TRY SOMETHING OVERTHERE ALSO.
Just like a 'big' Cauberg really 😄
Cool❤
The finish at Alto de Letras (at least the Strava segment) is 150m further than where you sprinted ... so we do not know who won. Bedankt voor de mooie video!
Love it
Life affirming, as always. Thanks for taking us with you, it is awesome viewing. P.S. If you want to take the bitterness out of your coffee, don't add sugar; add salt 👌

Hoping you can do the Taiwan KOM one of these days.
What an experience! And the editing is topnotch. One question - I noticed the Colombian rider uses the same hand signals used in the UK but Mike didn't seem to be following them. Do you not use these in the Netherlands? As we're moving to the Netherlands soon, I'm very curious about this.

Boys, I've expressed my love for Mikey before, but I'm not comfortable with this topless stuff at the start, there's a time and a place for that sort of thing and Maap are providing good kit for a reason...Love your work as always, keep having fun!
