Where Guatapé meets the Amazon.
Casa de Ciclistas is a co-founder of Dulce Amazónica, the Amazon cultural embassy on the Guatapé malecón. Together with Mountain Bike Colombia, we built the embassy to create a fair-trade home for the artisanal works, Amazonian foods, and cultural knowledge of partner communities across the Colombian Amazon.
Our ingredients are all sourced from the communities where we ride our bikes with fair trade, not charity.

It is consistently rated among the top places to eat in Guatapé — 4.9 on Google with over 1,382 reviews, and 5.0 on TripAdvisor. We focus on a shorter menu done well: artisan baked goods, fresh breakfast food, and flavors you won't find anywhere else in Antioquia.
Do I need to book a table in advance?
No reservations needed. Just come in. We open at 7:30am every day except Tuesday. On busy weekends, arriving early guarantees the best selection of freshly baked bread.
What is Dulce Amazónica?
Dulce Amazónica is a fair-trade cultural embassy we co-founded. It partners with 21 nomadic Indigenous communities in the Colombian Amazon and brings their products — including exotic ice cream — to the public. The ice cream at Casa de Ciclistas is sourced directly from those communities.

What makes Casa de Ciclistas different from other cafés in Guatapé?
Three things: sourdough baked daily from a starter that is 200 years old — the only artisan bakery in Guatapé doing this. Amazonian ice cream sourced from Indigenous communities in the Colombian jungle through Dulce Amazónica. And free guided mountain bike rides three mornings a week.
Is the sourdough bread available every day?
Yes, every day we are open — baked fresh before 7:30am. By the slice, as toast with toppings, or as a whole loaf to take with you. It sometimes sells out by mid-morning on busy weekends.
