Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity along our hiking route through the Chicamocha Canyon. Over the course of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), you'll have the chance to witness a genuine natural marvel up close.

Description

We'll meet at Barichara's main park and take a minibus to Villanueva, a trip lasting about two hours.

Upon arrival in Villanueva, we'll head towards Alto de Martha, the starting point for our hike through the Chicamocha Canyon.

The hike spans 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), passing through Macaregua, Mesa de los Santos, and Aratoca. We'll reach the Rancho Alegre viewpoint for panoramic views of the canyon—a great photo opportunity.

During a break at this viewpoint, we'll discuss the landscape's evolution over centuries. This area was nominated for the Natural Wonders of the World list.

As we continue, we will explore the vegetation, the river, and look for local wildlife, including birds and monkeys. We'll also see cobblestone paths from the colonial era.

After the 5-hour trek, we will pause for a picnic that includes a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and water.

With renewed energy, we'll complete the final leg to Jordan, where our minibus will await us. The activity lasts a total of 9 hours, concluding back at Barichara.
