Additional Information

In the morning, your guide will meet you directly at your Bogotá hotel. From there, you’ll take a roughly 2-hour drive to Chicaque Natural Park, which sits to the southwest of Sabana de Bogotá, in the district of San Antonio del Tequendama. Upon entering the Park, you’ll be greeted with its stunning viewpoint. On days when the weather is clear, you can see the snow-topped Tolima, Santa Isabel, and Ruiz volcanoes.

Your guide will lead you on a grand 3-hour hike through the reserve, which houses 214 species of birds (including some that are native to the region), 20 species of mammals, a diverse range of reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods, over 3,000 plant species, 7 varieties of forest, 20 km (12.5 miles) of ecological paths, and 3 streams filled with crystal clear water. This combination of features makes Chicaque a one-of-a-kind destination.

Fun, beautiful, and comfortable day tour - We had such a great experience on this tour. The tour company itself is extremely professional and the communication is great; everything ran very smoothly. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, he taught us about the local plants and animals while sharing some laughs. The pace of the hike is well planned out and comfortable. The park itself is absolutely gorgeous, we couldn’t believe that this didn’t appear on any “must see” lists when visiting Bogota. For such a short trip outside the city, the scenery is incredible. It added so much to our experience in Colombia. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a dose of nature on a quick day trip. It won’t disappoint!

Good hiking experience! - I had only two days stay in bogota but could enjoy the nature experience. I was hoping to meet a wild sloth bears but not good luck this time, maybe next time! Very kind and smooth tour operation and the tour staff took a great care of me since I booked the tour. Thank you!!
