Excellent hike - Amazing waterfall hike at La Chorea. Leslie was a fantastic and knowledgable guide. She went over the rocks like a gazelle. Hike was beautiful, even in the dry season. Food provided was tasty. The ride there is long and bumpy.

Wonderful hike just outside of Bogotá - This was a wonderful hike. Camilo, my guide, was very patient with me as I had to stop a few times to catch my breathe. The hike is challenging but the views are worthwhile.

About 90 minutes from... - About 90 minutes from bogota. Hike is 2.5 km one way. Some steep and rocky sections. Check there is water in the waterfall in advance. Our guide informed us in advance it was dry but we decided to go anyway and enjoyed the hike and landscape. We were very satisfied.

Fantastic experience with a phenomenal guide - Luis (our guide) did an amazing job of showing us the trail and providing us with stories and context. Luis is very intelligent, knowledgeable and fun. We liked the tour a lot. Note that this hike is a pretty challenging one (I don’t think it would work for completely inexperienced hikers). We also had a good lunch after the hike, which was cooked with locally farmed ingredients.

La Chorrera de Choachi Waterfall Hike - Our guide Francisco was wonderful. He maintained the hiking pace that I was comfortable with. He was attentive to my needs for frequent short pauses / water breaks and was ready to offer a helping hand if I needed it. The terrain was not flat. The undulating hills were quite steep in several areas and due to the light drizzle that had passed, there were several wet and slippery areas. I did not need my jacket and Francisco helped carry it the entire hike so that I could be hands free. The waterfall is lovely. It is not as expansive as the Iguazu Falls in Argentina nor as forceful as Niagara Falls in Canada.... but the scenery is breathtaking with charming farms and flowers along the way. I was glad I took my hiking stick but did not need my poncho nor fruit, since both were provided with the entrance ticket. I would recommend this Gran Colombia Tour any time. It is totally doable even if one is not that fit and Andrea at reservations is efficient and excellent in communication.

An awesome experience with a great guide! - I don't normally do guided tours but I highly recommend this one. It was great to see the Colombian countryside, and having assistance getting to and around the park was very beneficial. We are frequent hikers (on Canada's west coast) and found the most challenging part of this hike was coping with the altitude change. This is likely because we had only arrived in Bogota the evening before. So it's wise to have a day to acclimatize first. But as the hike went on, we got used to it! Our guide, Miguel, was awesome. Knowledgeable, friendly, and leads the tour at an easy pace so you can take your time and enjoy the nature. We enjoyed chatting with him and learning more about his beautiful country, while also admiring the wonderful views around us. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Thank you!
