Cycling day trip from Soacha to Bogotá

Kick off your ride in Soacha, a bustling city just southwest of Bogotá, known for its lively street markets and proximity to the capital. The route to Bogotá covers nearly 32 km and keeps things pretty steady with gentle climbs totaling about 97 meters—a great way to stretch your legs without burning out.

Most of the ride takes you along dedicated cycleways (about 80%), so you can focus on the scenery and the experience rather than dodging traffic. The rest of the journey winds through quiet roads, letting you enjoy local neighborhoods and catch glimpses of daily Colombian life.

You'll spend most of your time at a brisk elevation—over 2,500 meters above sea level—which means you’ll get mountain air and maybe even cooler weather. The surfaces are mostly paved or asphalt, ensuring a smooth roll all the way into Bogotá.

Finish your trip in Colombia’s vibrant capital, Bogotá, famous for its bike-friendly attitude (thanks to Ciclovía Sundays and over 500 km of bike lanes!). This is a fantastic route to link two energetic cities while taking in fresh air and urban sights. Happy pedaling!
