Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bogota à Soacha

Looking for a solid ride connecting Bogotá with Soacha? This route is a nice 34 km trip, mostly on cycleways (around 78%), making it pretty friendly for cyclists. You’ll start in Bogotá, Colombia’s lively, high-altitude capital, known for its culture, street art, and the iconic Monserrate hill towering overhead.

As you make your way southwest, the terrain is quite gentle—you’ll climb only about 70 meters before descending just under 90 meters, so nothing too punishing on your legs! Most of the journey is on paved roads, with just a tiny section on unpaved surfaces, which is great for hybrid or road bikes.

Soacha, your destination, is a growing city just outside the Bogotá metro area. It’s got a more laid-back, local vibe than the capital and is a historic spot for those interested in Colombia’s recent urban development.

Enjoy the big city buzz at the start, the open cycle paths, and the relaxed pace as you approach Soacha. Grab a snack and soak in the views—the high Andes are never far away!
