Round trip on the Boyacá plateau:

alto el Crucero, the longest climb in Colombia (96km)

Ride on the high plateau of Boyacá, the heart of Colombian cycling, and climb el Crucero, the 3rd longest climb in the world.

Starting in the capital city of Colombia, Bogotá, this bike tour will take you to several beautiful villages of the Boyacá department, including the amazing colonial village of Villa de Leyva where we will stay two nights, via the Boyacá plateau at 2700 meters’ altitude. Before that, we will be staying in Paipa, famous for its hot springs and its large & nice hotels in the area.

Once in Paipa, we will ride some of Boyacá’s most beautiful routes, including our typical Tota Lake loop and the vertiginous climb of the Alto El Crucero (96km), the longest climb in Colombia, and n°2 worldwide. We will then change department and ride in Casanare where the heat will accompany us for a couple of days.

After a few days riding in Boyacá, we will then go back to Bogotá. All in all, this bike tour will take you on roads located between 2150 and 3450 meters high!
