The Santiamén Loop is an intense, scenic high-mountain cycling route in Bogotá's Eastern Hills that connects the city’s two most famous cycling climbs: Alto de Patios and Alto El Verjón. Spanning a connection of roughly 11.5 kilometers just between the mountain passes (and extending over 45-65 kilometers for the full loop starting and ending inside Bogotá), this route features brutal ramps of 12% to 18% inclination and raw paramo landscapes.
