amazonas

Enjoy a beautiful walk through the high mountains of this National Park, visiting the Siecha and Buitrago lagoons. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to observe animals such as deer and spectacled bears.

The Chingaza National Park is located in the oriental mountain range in the Andean region in Colombia. The Park surface belongs to Cundinamarca and Meta departments, close to the Colombian capital of Bogota. The Park has an extension of 76.600ha and highs that go from 800 to 4.050 meters. Although the surface belonging to the Park has different thermal floors such as forest ecosystem in the Andean foothills, its largest surface that is located in the high mountains, above 3.000 meters, is classified as páramo.

In this journey the travelers will be going in two beautiful hikes to different lakes and paths through the very important páramo ecosystems. Also, we will have the opportunity to sleep in high mountain refuge and watch different species of fauna and flora such as deer, spectacled bears and frailejones.

This is an ideal trip for any weekend, departing from Bogotá. The paramo is very beautiful and the deer that are all the time close to the cabin are very charming. Ramón, our guide was very educated and kind.

Very recommended.

I didn’t know that so close to Bogotá we have such a beautiful place. To see the animals free in the paramo was a real gift. We weren’t lucky to see the spectacles bear, but I hope to see them next time I come.

Hernando

A very beautiful tour, the walks to the lakes surrounded by frailejones and to see so many deer was very nice, also amazed me to find this great mountains so closet o Bogotá.

I advice very much this trip because of its beauty and its proximity to the capital.
