I had a great hike with Jaime. He’s a biologist by training, and it was great to talk to him during the hike, as it was just the two of us.
The driver picked us both up at the hotel, and we drove a bit more than an hour, across Bogotá to the park entrance. It was great to see the different neighbourhoods and the driver really knew the roads well, so I always felt safe.
In the park, we hiked up to a viewpoint, but it was all fog this day 😁. Jaime knew some interesting shortcuts, with short climbs if you’re up for it (you can also go around). Then we hiked down into the valley, to have lunch.
There is an option to take a car back, or hike back up. It’s a punchy climb of 2,5km and 500m of elevation, but it was a nice workout.
Because it was just the two of us. We were able to get very close to some birds to take pictures. And obviously nice plants and trails to see too.

Had a spare day while traveling for work and looked for something a bit less traveled than the standard bogota day trips. My Colombian friends had heard of checaque but had never been themselves. Well worth it. No crowds. Great hiking. Good lunch at the on site restaurant. Wonderful guide!

What a wonderful day! Chicaque was such a magical place, with incredible views and nature. The hike was a fantastic challenge, and so was the tree-climbing!

Today's tour with Carolina Gomez and Sandro Vargar was a complete success. Chicaque Natural Park is community-run and not far away from Bogota. The scenery was majestic, with a wide range of flora and fauna, including excellent birdwatching.
