In 1959 he won another stage of the Vuelta a Colombia, before winning gold and silver in the team road race and individual road race, respectively, at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Caracas. Hurtado rode one more edition of the Vuelta a Colombia, winning three stages in 1960. That same year he also returned to the Olympics, finishing 16th in the 100 kilometres team time trial at the Roma Games.
