A must-do for nature lovers

Devin_K, Jan 2026

This was an absolutely magical hike, I couldn't recommend it more. While the trip to get to the park from Bogota was quite long, our guides made it very easy and seamless. Once at the park, the guides also helped with our check-in with the park rangers, and assisted us with instructions. During the hike, our guide gave us a lot of information about the unique ecosystem that is the paramo, as well as the history of the native people who once used this area for their cultural practices. The views were stunning, and the terrain was unlike any I have ever seen. It's definitely tiring, and be sure that you acclimate to the altitude prior to the hike, but it's absolutely worth it!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the hike truly magical and that the journey from Bogotá felt easy and well supported by our guides. The landscapes really are one of a kind, and we’re so happy they left a strong impression on you. Thank you as well for mentioning the altitude and physical effort - your advice will be very helpful for future travelers.

Totally worth it!

Our guide was incredible! He knew so much about the area’s history, flora, and fauna. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience memorable. He also spoke great English since I am still learning Spanish. The logistics were very easy (pick up at hotel exactly on time) and the team was very responsive leading up to the tour. An amazing experience!
