Details about this trip
Ride across South Korea from Seoul to Busan following the iconic Four Rivers Cycling Path, a 596 km journey through rivers, nature, villages, and vibrant cities. This is a bikepacking-style trip for intermediate cyclists, combining physical challenge with deep cultural immersion and a strong culinary focus. We’ll ride 60–80 km per day and enjoy evenings exploring Korean cuisine, from sizzling BBQ to vibrant night markets. I’ll handle all logistics: rental bikes with panniers, private rooms, route guidance, and travel insurance. This is not a race. It’s an adventure to disconnect, explore slowly, and connect with like-minded people on two wheels.

Hey, I’m Miguel , im a travel coordinator, a digital nomad, and a Muay Thai fighter in my free time. I’ve led tours across China, Thailand, and Indonesia, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: the best memories are made off the beaten path. This ride through Korea is all about keeping things simple ; long days on the bike, fresh air, real Korean food, and good company. If you’re into sports, nature, and believe the journey matters just as much as the destination, we’ll get along just fine. I’ll take care of the route, help you discover the best local eats, and the rest is up to the road and the vibe we create together.

Type: Hotel, Guesthouse, B&B Room Type: Private rooms (single occupancy) in comfortable local guesthouses or hotels along the route. We’ll stay in hand-picked local accommodations each night. All rooms will be private, ensuring you have your own space to rest and recharge after each riding day.

After our longest day of riding — 83 km — we arrive in Daegu, Korea’s fourth-largest city. The energy shift is immediate. If we’re up for it, we’ll explore the city’s food markets and nightlife. Or simply recover with a hot shower and good rest. It's a transition day — from rural to urban

Busan

Day 10-11
The next full day is all about recovery and enjoyment: visit the famous Haeundae or Gwangalli beach, explore the Gamcheon Culture Village, soak in traditional jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), or just hang out with the group over good food and local street snacks. The next morning in Busan, the trip comes to an end. You’re free to head back, continue traveling, or just stay a little longer by the sea.
