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 caverns and housed marine animals of which remains can still be found.
The road that connects the municipality of Capitanejo with the city of Duitama is perfect for cycling: incredible landscapes, less heavy traffic than on the Bogotá-Bucaramanga road and an ascent of approximately 90km from Capitanejo to Alto de Canutos.
