Highly recommended!!! - Excellent tour and very well prepared guide. Francisco answered any and all questions we asked. His answers were always thorough. His demeanor always full of patience and consideration. Nibardo, the local guide, was also a wealth of information. We especially enjoyed the agua de panela with arepa he had waiting for us at the end of the tour as well as the visit with him and his cat Ceniza.

Great hike! - This trip was great. Our guide, Francisco, was so friendly and knowledgeable. The landscape was really unique and not something any of us had seen before. Since it was a private tour we were able to go at our own speed which was really helpful since most of us struggled with the altitude. Overall the hike itself is not too difficult, but be prepared for the increase in elevation from Bogota. Bring layers even if you think you don't need them.

Stunning Views Are Worth the Hike! - I had a great time on this hike with Liz! This hike can be challenging at some points and, depending on the weather, muddy. I highly recommended bringing good hiking boots and layers. The landscape is stunning! We were the only ones hiking that day and I felt like we were on another planet! Highly recommend this tour!

Wow 🤩 - Wow, this is an incredible place! I felt I was in an other world! Francisco was my guide for 8h, he could explain all about this ecosystem and the history of Colombia, he was really friendly, full of good energy. You start by walking through this ecosystem for +|- 8km, the hike is not difficult, then you have a warm drink at the farmer house. And for lunch we went to eat at a local restaurant! It was super good !

Unique escape just outside of Bogota--highly recommend! - This was a unique adventure that I highly recommend for other travelers! The Sumapaz Preserve and Paramo landscape were beautiful, and we felt privileged to be able to explore there. We found a miraculous peace and calm outside of Bogota and enjoyed the contrast to city life for the day. Our guide--Luciani--was excellent. He was very knowledgable and super passionate about the area and about his work. Our local expert--Don Nevardo--grew up in the area and shared its unique features with us in a way that made us feel special. Our driver navigated the ins and outs of Bogota with efficiency and ease--even through significant post-hike rush hour traffic--and shared his insider knowledge of the neighborhoods we drove through. We brought water and snacks, but Luciani made sure we had the opportunity to get these things before our hike (and yes, you will want them!). We had wonderful weather but prepared for heavy rain in case. Our lunch was great and really hit the spot after our hike.

Beautiful place and amazing guide - Amazing tour through the santuario. The ride was pleasant already since we went through neighborhoods you wouldn’t normally come as a tourist. The guide was amazing and we had a great laugh. Along with a local farmer he took us to the most beautiful places. Afterwards we had a delicious lunch at the family-parilla of the driver. Great day!

Change of parmo - No visit to Sumapaz for us, ...cancelled the day before due to access problems (road); but we were offered a visit to another paramo (Matarredonda) to the east of Bogota which was combined with a visit to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
