La Calera

La Calera is a municipality in the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia, located in the Guavio province, some 16 kilometres north-east of Bogotá. Its territory lies between 2,600 and 3,000 metres of altitude, with cold-climate and páramo areas, and it is home to the San Rafael reservoir, which supplies Bogotá's water system, as well as being one of the gateways to Chingaza National Natural Park. Its economy, historically shaped by cement production and limestone quarrying, now combines agriculture, livestock farming and trout farming. Its mountains and viewpoints lend themselves to paragliding, mountain biking and hiking. La Calera has been designated American Town of Sport 2027, within the Colombian representation in the ACES network.
