The Chicamocha Canyon is the result of erosion on the river bed over millions of years, making it one of the most incredible landscapes in Colombia. Perfect for lovers of cycling and photography.

In 2009, it participated to become one of "The New 7 Natural Wonders", being in the top 77 worldwide.

With more than 108,000 hectares, the Chicamocha is one of the largest canyons in the world. It was formed 46 million years ago where there was once an immense lake that allowed the formation of caves and housed marine animals of which remains can still be found.

The road that connects the city of Bogotá and that of Bucaramanga is the most popular to cross the Chicamocha, however there are other roads where we can admire this canyon.
