Famous climb near Guasca, it is a very frequent mountain top for riders from Bogotá and surrounding cities. This climb is commonly included in the Colombian GFNY. The climb starts after you leave Guasca and it is about 11 kilometers long at 6%.
Temperature is usually lower than in Bogotá (see Páramo ecosystem)

On weekends you might find someone selling basic coffee and limited snacks at the top, I would recommend bringing enough food or going to Guasca.

11 easy km, I suggest making the crossing through the Páramo, to where the descent to Sueva begins. Very cold, good coat and gloves.
