Overview
Bogotá is located on a vast savannah formed by the east-Andean mountain range at an altitude of 2600m. The city limits to the east are met with an incredible mountain range, locally known as the Cerros Orientales, that follows Bogota’s length from south to north. The mountains have a significant influence on Bogota’s climate, and they are also the most visible geographical feature. Even though they are ever-present, their treasures remain entirely unknown to many locals and visitors. This trip will take you to the La Chorrera Waterfall, the treasure within the mountains.

What you will be doing
After being picked up by a driver at your hotel, we'll travel 45 minutes to the southern part of the hills, on the road to Choachí. Accompanied by an experienced guide, you'll be dropped off in the countryside and hike through mountains surrounded by impressive natural scenery to discover the base of the first waterfall: El Chiflón. You'll have the opportunity to walk behind the waterfall amid the magical mist - and if you're adventurous, you can always take a swim at the waterfall's base. After that, you'll be able to regain your energy by eating a locally prepared snack.
Expect to reach the bottom of this 590m (1935 ft) tall waterfall in roughly 1 hour. You'll pass creeks, and a wide array of beautiful plants, surrounded by the sounds of nature, including the splashing of the waterfall. When you arrive at the waterfall, you will have the opportunity to relax, enjoy the view and take some pictures before going back.
You'll arrive back at the car after about 3 hours. After a satisfying day out, we'll return to the city.
