The Transcordilleras is an 8-stage ultra-endurance gravel race across Colombia’s rugged and breathtaking landscapes. The race takes riders through the three Andean mountain ranges (Cordilleras Oriental, Central, and Occidental), covering over 1,000 km of diverse and challenging terrain, from high-altitude climbs to remote gravel roads and jungle valleys.

Distance: ~1,000+ km across 8 stages.
Elevation Gain: Massive climbs, often exceeding 20,000m+ total ascent.
Location: Colombia – traversing rural villages, coffee regions, and high-altitude passes. Challenge: Tough climbs, unpredictable weather, and rugged terrain test riders’ endurance and resilience.

The race is self-supported, meaning riders must manage their own nutrition, repairs, and pacing strategies while navigating some of South America’s most demanding gravel roads. It’s considered one of the toughest multi-stage gravel races in the world, attracting elite endurance cyclists and adventurous riders alike.
