Chorrera Hike

Bogota is placed on a vast savannah formed by the east-Andean mountain range at an altitude of 2600 MAMSL. Although the majority of the city is rather flat, the city limits to the east are met with an incredible mountain range that follows Bogota's length all the way from south to north. This mountain range is what is locally known as the East Hills. They have a large influence on Bogota's climate and they are also the most visible geographical feature. Even though they are always present, they are completely unknown for many locals and visitors. We will start the La Chorrera Hike Tour at 9:00 am, when you will be picked up at your hotel by our driver. We will travel approximately 45 minutes to the southern part of the hills, on the road to Choachi, passing a traditional small village with a beautiful town square and an amazing viewpoint. Together with an experienced guide, you'll be dropped off within the countryside, and there we will begin our hike through natural scenery and mountains to discover the base of the first waterfall, El Chiflon. You'll have the opportunity to walk behind the waterfall and feel the water touch your skin - and if you're really adventurous you can always take a swim at the waterfall's base. After that you'll be able to regain your energy by eating a locally prepared snack. Next we will head out again through the forest, to reach the most important natural treasure of this exotic trip, La Chorrera Waterfall. Expect to reach the bottom of this 590m tall waterfall in roughly 1 hour. You'll pass creeks, a wide array of beautiful plants, and feel amazed by the sounds of nature surrounding you, including the splashing of the waterfall. When you arrive at the fall you will have the opportunity to relax a bit, enjoy the view and take some pictures before we go back. You'll arrive back at the car after about 3 hours. After the hike we will drive back to Bogota and have a well deserved lunch at a local restaurant located at La Candelaria: the colonial quarter of Bogota. After a satisfying day out, we'll drive you back to your hotel or any place in the city you prefer.
