He moved to EF Education First from UCI Continental team Euskaltel–Euskadi in May 2019,[5] having initially been set to join in the summer.[6] In August 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Vuelta a España.[7] In early 2020 he finished 3rd in Paris-Nice and won the best young rider jersey. In August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Tour de France.[8] He did not finish the Tour but the following year he placed 25th overall.[9]
Higuita moved to Bora–Hansgrohe for the 2022 season. On stage 6 of the 2022 Volta a Catalunya he went on a long distance attack with Richard Carapaz.
