Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

La Victoria Clock Tower
Highlight • Monument
The territory includes extensive flat areas and a few mountainous areas whose relief corresponds to the western slope of the Central Andes Mountain Range. Among the orographic accidents, the Guacará, Aguja, Montecristo, Santa Barbara, Sierramocha and Taguales peaks stand out, as well as the Pan de Azúcar hill and the heights of Alegrías, El Convento, Gallinazo, La Cruz and La Pintura.
Its main economic activities are agriculture, livestock, mining and commerce. The crops of coffee, corn, soybeans, cotton, beans, cassava and bananas stand out.
In the mining field, gold, gypsum and talc are exploited.
Previously, it had a strategic position that made it an obligatory passage between cities such as Zarzal, Cartago, Roldanillo and Pereira. However, with the development of the Pan-American highway, it gradually lost the flow of vehicles, along with a notable deterioration in the access roads to the municipality.
Like many municipalities in the Valle del Cauca, La Victoria was the epicenter of drug trafficking within the well-known Cartel of the north of the valley. Although there were no violent events as critical as in neighboring towns, it was one of the causes of the displacement of 236 people in the period between 2000 and 2008.

Church of the Immaculate Conception, La Unión
Highlight • Religious Site
The other name as it was known in the past was Hato de Lemos, since the lands where this municipality was built were owned by the landowner Pedro Lemos. It was founded on April 20, 1796 but became a municipality in 1890 and its founder was called Juan Jacinto Palomino.
The Gorrones Indians, who prevailed on the western bank of the Cauca River, from Cali to Anserma, were the first inhabitants of La Unión, Valle. Its name comes from the name of the fish that was an important food in its gastronomy. La Unión was the scene of the most important social protest during the colonial period against Spanish authority in the west of the viceroyalty of New Granada, an episode known as the Uprising of Hato de Lemos in 1781. It has a large number of vineyards and is the main headquarters of the Casa Grajales Winery and the Museum of Grapes and Wine. Extreme sports such as paragliding and motorcycling are also practiced.
