Tour Gran Fondo x Egan Bernal

Zipaquirá & Bogotá Savannah NOV 11 – 18, 2025

About the Bogotá Savannah
The Bogotá Savannah is a high-altitude plateau with rolling terrain, cool mountain air, and sweeping views. Just outside Bogotá, it’s perfect for scenic rides through hills, reservoirs, and historic towns like Guatavita—famous for its colonial charm and the legend of El Dorado. Nature, culture, and history come together in a peaceful yet powerful landscape.
 
About Zipaquirá
Just 1.5 hours from Bogotá, Zipaquirá blends colonial architecture, Indigenous roots, and cycling heritage—it's the hometown of Egan Bernal. Cyclists can explore winding routes
and visit the stunning Salt Cathedral, an underground church carved into a salt mine. A lively square and beautiful surroundings make it an ideal cultural and riding destination.
About Gran Fondo x Egan
The Gran Fondo x Egan Bernal is a one-day cycling event in Colombia led by Tour de France and Giro d’Italia champion Egan Bernal. Starting from his hometown of Zipaquirá, the race covers 164 km of high-altitude roads in the Bogotá Savannah, with over 2,000 meters of climbing. Riders can choose between the full Gran Fondo and a shorter Half Fondo, making it an accessible challenge for different levels. More than just a race, it's a
