El Cocuy is one of the places that makes Colombia such an amazing country. Being the biggest mass of snow and ice found within Latin-America north of the equator, the park includes: 22 snow-peak mountains, lakes tucked among the mountains, crystal-clear creeks flowing gently across huge valleys, and unique vegetation throughout. Given the diverse range of activities, this area is a perfect destination for high-mountain experts and beginners alike.
This high-altitude national park is located in the eastern center of Colombia and its 3060 square kilometers extension is divided through the departments of Boyacá and Santander. The peaks' summit altitudes range from 4800 to 5350MASL. And the diverse soil and climate make this national park one of the most bio diverse protected areas on earth.
This 3-day trip from Bogotá is the best way to visit this natural wonder; no experience required.
