    I can't recommend this tour enough!!! Definitely our favourite day in Bogota. Our guide Andres and driver Omar were terrific. Andres was super knowledgable about the area. The breakfast and lunch were incredible and let us try spots we wouldn't have thought to try. The hike itself was gorgeous!! Highly recommend booking this tour.

    Marcela was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable of the park and made the hike so fun! The drive into the mountains was absolutely beautiful and the trail to the waterfall had dozens of scenic overlooks. It’s a great escape from the city. Highly recommend!!
