8 hours

Moderate

Conéctate con la naturaleza y disfruta del ecoturismo haciendo senderismo en el Parque Natural Chingaza. Conoce la fauna de la cordillera de los Andes.

Embárcate en una aventura escénica en el corazón de los Andes orientales colombianos en el Parque Natural Chingaza, a un corto trayecto en coche desde Bogotá. Conocido por sus impresionantes paisajes y su rica biodiversidad, Chingaza ofrece una experiencia de senderismo única a través de páramos (ecosistemas de gran altitud), frondosos bosques y lagunas resplandecientes, incluidas la Laguna de Siecha y la Laguna de Chingaza, que tienen un significado cultural para el pueblo indígena Muisca.

Durante esta caminata, tendrás la oportunidad de avistar vida silvestre única, incluido el raro oso de anteojos, la única especie de oso nativa de América del Sur, así como majestuosos cóndores andinos volando por encima. El parque también es el hogar de venados de cola blanca, pumas y más de 400 especies de aves, lo que lo convierte en un paraíso para los amantes de la naturaleza y los observadores de aves por igual.

Mientras caminas por los paisajes bien conservados del parque, serás testigo de impresionantes vistas panorámicas, cuerpos de agua cristalina y una flora vibrante como los frailejones, que prosperan en este entorno de gran altitud. Esta caminata ofrece no solo exploración física, sino también una conexión con el patrimonio natural y cultural de la región.
