The Páramo de Sumapaz is the largest páramo ecosystem in the world. This day trip from Bogotá offers an exploration of this unique moorland.
Description
The adventure begins at the Cranky Croc Hostel with departure from Bogotá. A traditional breakfast will be provided before heading to the Páramo de Sumapaz.
Upon arrival at over 3500 meters (11,500 feet) altitude, participants will experience the vastness of the largest moor, which covers nearly half a million acres. Unique flora and fauna can be spotted, including Andean bears, deer, eagles, and condors. A hiking adventure will allow immersion in the stunning landscapes.
This region is also rich in indigenous traditions, with ancient rites and rituals preceding Spanish colonization. Two viewpoints will be visited for panoramic views of the Frailejones Valley and the glacial lagoons of the páramo. A stop at a farmhouse will provide fruit snacks for recharging.
The journey concludes with transportation back to Bogotá, approximately eight hours after pickup.
