Cycling to Puerto Perú: 43 km and View of Nevado del Tolima

A great bike ride to Puerto Perú in the Tolima department. From this spot, you can get a clear view of Nevado del Tolima in the background.

The weather was on our side, and the view made the climb completely worth it.

Here are the details of the route starting from Ibagué:

This bridge marks the end of the easy section and the start of one of the shortest yet most demanding segments in the area. It’s famous for its sheer difficulty and relentless incline that gives you no break. From this point on, it's all about pushing through and enduring a very tough mountain climb.

This bridge crosses the Combeima River and marks the start of the climb. It’s a short segment of just 4 kilometers, but with an average gradient of 10.6% on loose, rocky terrain, it becomes a severe technical challenge and a true test of endurance.

No exaggeration—it's an absolute hell of a section.

Below are some of the photos from the trail.
