El Codito from El Placer

The Vía rises 4.1km through alpine terrain above the treeline, gaining 194m to 2,829m. The average gradient of 4.8% disguises ramps of 10.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 4 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The summit at 2,829m sits above the treeline, where the air thins and the views extend to distant peaks. Located in Cundinamarca, Colombia.
