Itinerary
- Day 1
Bogotá
You'll start your day on a bike, riding through Bogotá's network of cycle paths designed specifically for cyclists. The route takes you into La Candelaria, the old town section, where you'll stop at the Gold Museum to see the collection. From there, keep pedaling toward Parque Nacional and then head into Usaquén. The whole 25km ride stays mostly on flat asphalt, so it's pretty manageable even if you're not an experienced cyclist. The terrain runs through the city, so you'll get a real sense of how Bogotá feels from ground level.

Bogotá to Suesca
After breakfast, you're heading north by car to Reserva Biológica Encenillo to check out the local plants and wildlife. Once there, you'll spend some time with a local family and have refreshments. Then you'll switch to bikes for roughly 14km of hillier riding that takes you to Guatavita Lagoon, known for its connection to the El Dorado legend. A 40-minute walk around the lagoon lets you learn about the Chibcha Indian ceremonies and Spanish colonial history. You'll cycle again after the hike, making your way toward Suesca where you'll arrive as the sun's going down.

After eating, you'll continue cycling to Zipaquirá, where you can explore the town and visit the underground Salt Cathedral, which is pretty remarkable from an architectural standpoint and something you don't see every day.
