Capitanejo
See all Capitanejo Photos
A paved highway wends about 170 kilometers (102 miles) from Tunja, up into the Eastern Cordillara, to Capitanejo. This is the Bogotá-Cúcuta route preferred by trucks and many bus companies, as opposed to the trajectory by way of Bucaramanga: it is shorter and has no peajes, toll booths. On the southern limit of Capitanerjo is the turn-off for the Sierra Nevada de El Cocuy and its hamlets. Capitanejo is on the Río Chicamocha and serves as an alternative point to raft through that river gorge. The village enjoys a hot, dry climate, perfect for warming up after trekking in Parque Nacional Natural El Cocuy.
