Beautiful hike

Omar was on time, friendly and clean car. Trip to waterfall was terrific if not longer due to Bogota famous traffic. The waterfalls was beautiful. He walked to ticket center and we were off to hike the trail. Hike was about intermediate with some climbing. The views was amazing as well as the lunch that was included. After eating lunch the second waterfall was there to view.

Awesome Experience!

Thomas J, Oct 2019

Very amazing experience, but must be in good shape - the hike is around 7-10K with lot's of altitude climbing. My Fitbit reported 150+ flights of stairs. The guide was great - a Bogota local who took me on a personal tour (only me, not a group). He picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off in the city center (La Candelaria) at my request. Had a lot of passion for Bogota and very knowledgeable. Very great experience and completely satisfied.

Waterfall hike

Spectacular scenery along the drive from Bogota to the small town and then the hike to both of the falls. The hike was moderate difficulty level I would say, but well worth it for the vistas. The lunch at the Cuban restaurant at the trail exit was a fun finishing touch. Peter was an outstanding tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get out of the city and explore nearby Bogota.

Highlight of our trip

Peter made our hike an experience of a lifetime and went above and beyond our exceptions. He picked us up at our air bnb and Kept the number of participants small, only three of us. The hike was not as difficult as i anticipated but there were parts that i found to be challenging because of the altitude. I highly recommend doing the waterfall repel.
