About this activity
Chingaza is one of the most impressive natural parks of Colombia. Located right at the east of Bogota at an altitude of 3400masl, it counts with 7,6600 hectares of virgin high Andean forest sub-paramo and paramo ecosystems. The Paramos play a key role in the big scale balance of earth. Endemic to the Andes region, they are a kind of highland wetlands and perform the task of a giant geographical sponge. It is the place where the clouds are constantly being condensed, and where the streams coming from the glaciers are retained and regulated. This park, offers a network of hiking trails where visitors will be in close contact with its unique flora species like Frailejn Uribei, a bush that grows only at the Paramos at a speed of 1/3 of an inch per year, and more than 1000 other native species. The park also has 186 documented species of birds and a handful of native mammals like deer, Andean bears, and small felines. This and the breathtaking landscapes that frame the exuberant nature present in this park, make our visit to the mountain of water a must do in Bogota for nature lovers.
