Cycling day trip from Barrio San Luis to La Calera

Start your cycling adventure in Barrio San Luis, a lively neighborhood buzzing with local flavor and charm. From there, pedal your way towards La Calera, a quaint mountain town known for its stunning views and relaxed vibe—a perfect destination for a scenic ride.

The journey spans a bit over 21 kilometers and will definitely test your cycling grit with its varied terrain. Be prepared for some changes in elevation; there’s quite a climb involved with an ascent over 760 meters. But don't worry, the descent is even bigger, so you’ll earn plenty of fast and fun coasting downslope. The highest point tops out at an impressive 3225 meters above sea level!

About half of the route’s surface is undefined, and you’ll also encounter a healthy mix of gravel, unpaved patches, and a dash of asphalt and paved roads. Quiet roads make up most of your journey, but keep your eyes peeled for the occasional bumpy track. It’s a pretty serene ride overall, with minimal busy roads interference, so you can truly enjoy the peacefulness of nature around.

By the time you roll into La Calera, you’ll surely be ready to kick back, appreciate the breathtaking landscape, and refuel with some local goodies. Happy cycling!
