Itinerary
If you wish we can make a short stop in the town of La Calera to buy something that catches your attention or something to eat.
Chingaza National Park is a natural and cultural treasure, the magic of its mountains keeps secrets and thoughts inherited from the Muiscas and Guayupes, indigenous peoples who guarded this territory. Today it is a refuge for the fauna and flora of the Andes that reveal to the visitor the secret of life. The park has an extension of 76,600 hectares and heights between 800 and 4,050 meters above sea level. It has warm and cold temperatures and moor climates. It includes ecosystems as varied as wetlands, jungles, and humid forests. The temperature ranges between 4 and 21.5 °C. At the entrance of the natural reserve, our local guide will be waiting for you, who will guide us along the Rincón del Oso Trail, which begins at the Piedras Gordas Control Post inside the Park. If we are lucky, we will be able to appreciate the spectacled bears and deer that inhabit the area. The tour lasts 3 or 3.5 hours depending on your resistance.

About Bogotá
Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.
La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.
