The guides were excellent...

Mark_W, Jul 2026

The guides were excellent and it gave a really good insight into this special ecosystem. We were lucky enough to have a great, close-up encounter with a bear which was the icing on the cake. Expect to get wet, mind, but that is what the paramo is all about.

Beautiful Area

Nathan_T, Jun 2025

Chingaza National Park is a beautiful place, and definitely worth visiting. This tour was a nice, easy way to visit the park. The driver and guide meet you at your hotel in Bogotá and drive you to the park. We stopped in a mountain town to get snacks and pick up a local guide before entering the park. The national park is very strictly regulated, so it is easiest to hire a guide, even for short hikes. You are required to check in at the visitor center and must have your passport. You also either need your yellow fever vaccination card, or to sign a waiver accepting the risk of yellow fever exposure. You then must watch an orientation video and have your bag searched before entering the park. No single use plastics are allowed. The hike itself isn't too difficult, but it will feel harder due to the elevation. It's much cooler in the park than it is down in Bogotá, and there is a good chance of rain pretty much any time of year. The trail can be a little slick in places, and you should bring good, waterproof footwear. There is water everywhere. This park supplies the water for the city of Bogotá, which is part of the reason it is so strictly regulated. The local guide provides very interesting insights into the flora and fauna in the park, as well as stories from the indigenous Muisca people. It's a surreal place with clouds constantly rolling through and alternately shrouding and revealing the páramo landscape. The mountain air is wonderful. We saw lots of evidence of Andean bears, but didn't see any bears, unfortunately. This is a nice way to spend half a day outside the city.

The trip was really nice....

Nina_G, Apr 2023

The trip was really nice. The nature there is awsome and everything worked out without any problems. The tour was shorter as in the description, but defently long enought for us. It was relaxing to be back in bogotá in the afternoon. The spanisch guide had a lot of intersting facts to share but sadly the englisch guide shortend the explinations a lot.
