Cycling day trip from Funza to Soacha

Here’s an enjoyable cycling route taking you from Funza down to Soacha, just southwest of Bogotá. You’ll cover 34.6 km, but don’t worry—the elevation change is pretty gentle, so it’s friendly for most cyclists.

You’ll start out in Funza, a fast-growing community known for its agricultural roots and proximity to the Bogotá River. The route makes good use of dedicated cycleways for over half the journey, helping you stay safe and relaxed. Expect a mix of surfaces: primarily paved and asphalt sections, but with some stretches where the surface isn’t well-defined (so keep an eye open for rough patches).

About two-thirds of the way, you’ll start passing through quieter roads as you approach Soacha—an area renowned for its vibrant local life and cultural history, plus its role as a key gateway between the capital and Colombia’s southwest.

It’s a route ideal for urban explorers who like a blend of bike path smoothness and a few urban surprises. Remember to bring some water, sunscreen, and maybe a snack, especially if you want to stop and explore a bit along the way!
