Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Bogotá

    Bogotá sits on a high plain in the Andes at about 2,640 metres, which means thin air, cool temperatures and a sky that can go from blue to grey in an hour. Visitors from sea level often feel breathless on the first day and should take it slowly, drinking water and avoiding heavy meals.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Bogotá sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Villa de Leyva.

  2. 2. Villa de Leyva

    Villa de Leyva was founded in 1572 and has barely changed since. At 2,140 metres, on a dry plateau in the Boyacá highlands, the town is a grid of whitewashed houses with red roofs, set around one of the largest cobbled plazas in the Americas, a great open square of rounded stones with a simple stone fountain in the middle and a church at one end. On a clear day, with the sun on the white walls and the mountains behind, the effect is almost theatrical.
