Fúquene Hiking & Boat Tour

Fúquene Hiking & Boat Tour

We will meet at 9 am at the port of the Fúquene lagoon for a boat ride lasting one and a half hours on the lake situated at over 2,400 meters (7874 feet) above sea level. During the journey, we will pass by the island of El Santuario, home to ancient Muisca temples and associated legends, including that of Fu, a protective god. Observations of local birdlife, including blackbirds and American coots, will also be part of the tour.

After the boat ride, we will start a one-and-a-half-hour hiking route along the old Fúquene railway tracks, leading to a tunnel deep within the mountain, complemented by insights on endemic plant species.

Post-hike, participants will enjoy a traditional dish of vegetables and rice. Following the meal, there will be a workshop on reed basket-making, covering the treatment of fibers and raw material collection from the river bank.

The activity will conclude at the starting point at 3 pm.
