Colombia is a great place for adventure and sports. There is a wide array of choices, from quiet relax sports, to more extreme and risky sports, with Colombia’s wonderful natural features as your playground.

This wide variety of sports is possible because of Colombia’s geographical contrast including almost anything from high mountains to flat desserts. It’s cities are also a great place for indoor and outdoor sports, with a good infrastructure that have helped Colombian athletes be recognized in sports such as: skating, cycling, football and weight-lifting. Cycling is a daily activity for many Colombians, specially in regions such as Boyaca and Santander. And thanks to the growth in its use, many cities have built special roads for bicycles, and have created a network that at the same time promotes the ecological use of bycicles in the cities.
