For the first time in history, the KTM ADVENTURE RALLY arrives in Latin America, offering KTM riders and owners the opportunity to explore Colombia's most challenging terrains, discover new routes, push their limits, and test their bikes and skills to the maximum, all while traversing some of the country's most stunning landscapes.
Rally
The epicenter of the adventure is Barichara, Santander, a place surrounded by mountain ranges, rivers, streams, and canyons. The routes are tailored to the rider's skill level, ranging from 3 to 5 chilis, each highlighting terrains full of contrasts and challenges, where you’ll also find mountains covered in dense vegetation, dry forests, sandy valleys, peaks, cliffs, and rivers like the Sogamoso and Suárez. Color palettes between each mountain and canyon cross the region, such as the famous and imposing Chicamocha Canyon, one of the largest in the world.
Days
The KTM ADVENTURE RALLY is a three-day gathering exclusively for KTM owners, riders, ambassadors, and prominent local and international motorcycling figures, where camaraderie and the thirst for taking the off-road experience to another level are found. The event has taken place in Norway, Italy, Australia, Greece, New Zealand, the United States, Portugal, Canada, China and South-Africa, among others, offering the motorcycling community a unique event and experience worldwide. Now, the KTM ADVENTURE RALLY adds Colombia to the 2024 editions, marking a milestone as the first in Latin America.

7 NOVEMBER
The basecamp in Barichara will serve as the central hub for participants, providing a daily gathering place for various activities. Here, participants will register, and both riders and their bikes will be evaluated: motorcycles will undergo technical inspections to ensure safe operation, while riders will verify their gear and undergo skill assessments on a circuit to determine their proficiency level before embarking on routes. Additionally, the basecamp will have several brand services for both riders and their motorcycles: Orange Shop of Garments, repair area tires, workshop for quick mechanical repairs by certified technicians and WP area for suspension inspection and setting.
Each route of the KTM COLOMBIA ADVENTURE RALLY can be navigated individually with a GPX file (GPS map file) provided by the organization or guided by the event staff. Along each route, there will be a logistical team (guides, mechanics, and medical staff) accompanying the groups, as well as hydration and food at key points.
Upon arrival at each route, the day ends with a general inspection of each motorcycle and a space to mingle with other riders and local and global brand ambassadors, to chat about the day, disconnect, and participate in activities and surprises.
