El Cocuy National Park

El Cocuy National Park

$370 per person

Cocuy National Park is in the North part of the department of Boyacá. Their peaks are not only to the mountains’ lovers, the local farms are 3500-4000 meter above sea level, from where you can conquer one of the national park’s many peaks (there are more than 15 peaks over 5000 meters). You don’t need to be a professional hiker, you just need to be in good shape to complete these hikes.

This beautiful scenery is about 9-10 hours bus ride from Bogotá. The place itself is absolutely magical: the Andes with all its beauty, unique vegetation, fresh air, serenity and the friendly locals. You can enjoy the peaceful mountain life for 2-3 days almost completely isolated from the outside world.

 

The tour includes:

 

  • Transfer between Bogotá and El Cocuy by bus
  • Breakfast and dinner at the local farm where you will stay – it’s on the property of a local family in a simple wooden house. Both breakfast and dinner is made by the family.
  • Hiking in the mountains with a local guide (2 days)
  • Detailed itinerary: Departure from Bogotá around 8 pm, arrival to El Cocuy the next morning around 7 am. Breakfast then a short rest. The first day hike starts around 10am. Arrival back to the accommodation at sunset (around 5:30 pm), dinner and a rest/free time (card games, conversation, etc.).
  • You start the second day with a breakfast, after that a whole-day hike and then dinner. After dinner, departure to Bogotá (arrival to Bogotá sometime during the night – it’s also an option to stay an extra night on the farm and leave the next morning for Bogotá – it always depends on the group).
