"I'll never forget seeing so many people gathered for me," Bernal told his fans.
"When I see you there, I'm only just starting to realise what this meant for Colombia.
"It makes me very proud to be able to give something to society and to give Colombia hope. "
Bernal landed in the Capital , Bogotá, on Monday. He had been competing in a series of shorter races in Europe that followed his Tour de France win.
He turned down the offer of a parade through Zipaquirá, opting instead for a more modest stage in The Town 's Central Square .
There, he paid tribute to his first coach Fabio Rodriguez , and showed his white Jersey - won for being The Best young rider in The Tour .

He donated his yellow Jersey to the Colombian Cycling Federation, and gave his white one to Mr Rodriguez.
