About Us.
Horizons Cycling stands proudly with more than 10 years of experience
our values
Safety.
Safety always comes first for us because we want you to be fully immersed in the experience. We meticulously plan all the logistics so your trip will be as smooth as it gets.
Adventure.
Adventure is our passion. We like to go to new places, the further the better; the more remote, the better. We love to take the less traveled route, explore secred roads and hidden corners. That is why most of our routes are point to point rides, as we love the experience of literally traveling through landscapes, countries and cultures on our bike..
Authenticity.
We love authenticity, we love people and places that are true and unique to their nature. We think that this is what makes this planet where we live such a special place. All our trips are also a journey and a quest for authenticity. From the hotels and restaurants, to the route and the people that we meet along the way.
Empathic service.
Coming from a long familiar tradition in the high end service industry, we have very high standards for the best service possible. We focus on empathy to really understand and meet our guests needs and adapt to requests and situations quickly and effectively.
Excellence.
We love to be treated with excellence and that is how we strive to treat all our guests. We meticulously take care of all the details in our trips so you will enjoy the experience at the highest level.

Let us serve you in making your dream cycling adventure a reality!
