The biggest paramo on earth: Sumapaz

Posted By : guan_h
The hike was a tad challenging at certain part where you just have to becareful with loose rocks and slippery mud, especially descending. Otherwise, it just requires you to move at your own comfort pace as you also have to battle the high altitude. Breathless at times as I thought I could run uphill. The duration for the whole event is about 4 hours. Wear proper hiking boots and pants in order to prevent any friction scratching by the rocks or prickly plants. There are plenty of indigenous greens to appreciate on this vast land. Breathe in the cool air and just take in the expanse landscape.

Excellent tour with a great guide. The hike was not too difficult, and led to stunning views. Great breakfast, snacks and insights on the area.

Small and only group with access to this area
Weather just held out on a day forecast to be wet. Five more characters.

This was a really great experience. The communication was clear and timely, and it was a very convenient pick up/meeting place. We were well fed, with breakfast, lunch and snacks. The hike was really nice, but definitely a challenge with the altitude. I would consider myself a pretty avid hiker and I found myself stopping at multiple points for a breather. In total it’s about a 5-6km hike with about 600m of elevation. It got a bit stormy towards the end, and could have gotten pretty cold and wet if we had been caught in it. It was pretty muddy on the trail, but it had just rained the day before too. Great guides and views.

Breakfast included. Really nice view and fantastic scene of this high altitude ecosystem! Recommended! Be aware of altitude illness.

What a sight to behold! This journey to the panorama was incredible and totally worth it. The trip to the trailhead from Bogota is about 45 minutes or so but the group will stop on the way to eat breakfast (try the changua). After that, it’s a brief trip to the trail and the guide, Juan, will give a brief history of the area and why it is important historically and politically and environmentally as well. The landscape in this area is quite distinct and nothing you’ve probably seen before. The trail can be slippery and narrow at times so beware. The hike is not easy for those who aren’t accustomed to the altitude but it is absolutely worth the trip. The sights along the way and at the end are stunning.

This was an absolutely amazing daytrip from Bogotá. Sumapaz is unique, mystical, and ecologically fascinating. We feel super lucky to have stumbled into this tour because it has been one of the real highlights of our 3 months in Bogotá.

Highly recommended.

I want to first start of with saying that our tour guide Juan was the best. He gave us a lot of great insight of Sumapaz. The hike to the location is definitely worth it but be prepared with some good walking shoes.
