Every Sunday, Bogotá transforms. Busy avenues fall quiet, hundreds of kilometres of roads open to cyclists, and the city takes to two wheels. This is Ciclovía, one of the best ways to experience Colombia’s capital like a local.
Cycling holds a special place in Colombian culture. Football may come first, but cycling runs a close second. Colombians follow the Tour de France with the same passion they bring to the national football team. Riders like Nairo Quintana, Egan Bernal and Riboberto Urán (to just name a few) have also put Colombia on the international cycling map with their impressive performances.
Explore Bogotá on Two Wheels
You don’t need to be a professional cyclist to enjoy a ride in Colombia. Choose from guided city tours, scenic countryside routes or multi-day journeys from one village to the next.
In Bogotá, Ciclovía offers a unique way to experience the capital. Every Sunday and on public holidays, the city closes hundreds of kilometres of streets to cars and opens them to cyclists, runners and pedestrians. Locals head out to exercise, meet friends and enjoy their city at a different pace.
Join them on your bike and explore Bogotá beyond its usual traffic and busy avenues. Ride through lively neighbourhoods, pass local markets and watch the city come to life. Ciclovía offers a glimpse into everyday Colombian life and a refreshing alternative to a traditional walking tour.
