Colombia

Ruta Chingaza is a weeklong bikepacking loop that starts and ends in Bogotá, Colombia. The route, created in conjunction with Conservation International, travels through some of the area’s most spectacular landscapes, including the high-altitude cloud forests and endangered páramos that provide 70 percent of Bogotá’s fresh water supply. The highlight of the route is the breathtakingly beautiful Chingaza National Park, which was previously inaccessible to cyclists.

The Páramos Conexión is a linear bikepacking route created to link the well-regarded Oh Boyacá! with our Ruta Chingaza loop. The connector can be used to ride both routes as a one-way journey, which allows riders to take in more of Colombia's incredible high-altitude páramos.

Overshadowed by the immensely popular Sierra Nevada del Ruiz, one would never think much of Boyacá. It's a department of Colombia in the mountainous region of the Eastern Cordillera. To its right lies Venezuela and to the left is San Gil, the so-called adventure capital of Colombia.
