Cycling day trip from Santiago de Cali to Jamundí

This ride takes you from the heart of Cali—Colombia’s salsa capital and a city famous for its vibrant energy—down to the charming town of Jamundí. Covering just over 40 km, the route is mostly flat with only minor climbs and descents, making it pretty friendly for a leisurely day out or a steady training ride. You’ll enjoy mostly quiet roads, and there's hardly any stretch along busy thoroughfares—so expect a relaxed roll through scenic rural landscapes dotted with sugarcane fields.

While the surface info is patchy, you’re likely to find a mix of paved and unpaved sections, with short bits on concrete and asphalt. Cali sits at about 1,000 meters elevation with plenty to explore, but by the time you reach Jamundí, get ready to enjoy the town’s laid-back vibe, nearby rivers, and if you’re lucky, maybe a freshly made cholado (local icy treat) at the plaza. Enjoy the ride!
