Get ready for a solid ride as you pedal from Cota to La Calera, two favorite spots for cyclists near Bogotá! This 39 km route offers a great mix of adventure and challenge. You’ll climb more than 760 meters as you leave the plains of Cota—a calm town known for its dairy farms—heading into the quieter, greener hills northeast of Bogotá.

The highlight? You’ll hit a max elevation over 3,000 meters, so expect some alpine vibes and incredible views. Surfaces are varied: it’s mostly a mix of paved roads and cycleways, but do keep your eyes open for some rougher unpaved sections, perfect for testing your bike-handling skills.

La Calera awaits at the end—a cool, breezy mountain town popular for its restaurants and scenic outlooks over Bogotá. Take it at your own pace, hydrate well (the altitude is real!), and enjoy both the tranquility and exhilaration along the way.
