His passion for cycling started at a young age. Botero always went to school by bicycle, in the Antioquia municipality of El Retiro, the town where he was born. Also, when he entered college, he never stopped training before going to class, so he was always in contact with a bicycle.[6]
His beginnings in mountain biking are due in part to his uncle, John Jairo Botero, who, living in Italy, was passionate about this sport.
With the support of his coach, Héctor Pérez, he launched his career towards the Singapore Youth Olympic Games in 2010.[6]
