Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chingaza National Park, Fomeque Colombia
The trip starts at 7:00 am from your hotel in Bogota where the driver and guide will meet you to begin a 1.5 hours drive towards the east of the Capital. In the half of the way, you will make a stop at La Calera, and have a taste of the nationally acclaimed arepas (a corn flatbread) with tinto (softer version of Americano coffee). After clearing the national park entrance, you will be introduced to the local guide who will be with you along the hike. The guides, native to this region and with an in-depth knowledge of flora and fauna, will highlight fascinating aspects of the route and will tell you anecdotes related to the native cultures and traditional farming communities of the area.
The hike lasts about 3 hours and reaches a lagoon called Laguna de Buitrago. After the walk, you will return to the cabin and have a comforting agua de panela (a hot beverage made with sugar cane jaggery). Here you will have the chance of using restrooms and change to warm and dry clothes and shoes (bring a spare change of clothes because the chances of getting wet are very high).
After having close contact with nature’s vital water source, the guide and driver will take you back to your hotel or any other part of the city just in time for lunch.
Duration: 4 hours

Chingaza was worth seeing and the guide was excellent!
Gorgeous nature, and easy day trip outside Bogota. High altitude, and a little strenuous for the non-aclimated. But worth it.
