Just beyond Bogotá, Ecopalacio Chingaza offers one of Colombia’s most exclusive eco-luxury experiences—a private day trip through a restored mountain sanctuary that was once a quarry and is now a thriving reserve. With round-trip private transport included, you’ll escape the city in comfort and step into landscapes few travelers ever reach.

Your expert guide will lead you along misty highland trails, surrounded by rare plants, clear streams, and the soft silence of the Andes. This area is home to incredible wildlife, including the emblematic Andean bear—a symbol of Colombia’s biodiversity and resilience, living freely just minutes from Bogotá.

At the summit of Peñas Blancas, enjoy a locally prepared mountain snack while taking in panoramic views of the páramo and valleys below. This is not just a hike—it’s a journey of renewal, luxury, and connection with one of Bogotá’s most sacred natural treasures.

    Leave the noise of Bogotá behind and discover Ecopalacio Chingaza, a high-mountain sanctuary where nature and peace take the lead. At 11,000 ft (3,100 m), you’ll step into misty trails, open landscapes, and the silence of the Andes. Your guide will lead you through easy & high-altitude paths where unique plants rise tall and cloud forests open into wide mountain views. Along the way, you’ll see mossy ground, clear streams, and signs of how this land has been brought back to life. The highlight is Peñas Blancas, once a limestone quarry, now transformed into a dramatic viewpoint where the mountains stretch into infinity. Here, you may have the opportunity to spot the elusive Andean bear roaming freely. The hike ends with a mountain snack enjoyed on a rocky knoll wrapped in mist. It is a quiet moment to connect with the raw beauty of Chingaza. This is not just a walk; it’s an invitation to explore one of Colombia’s hidden natural treasures.
