The tour was great! The nature there is beautiful, the hike is difficult because of the altitude, but it's worth it! Our guide was Katy, she was super attentive and communicative!
Thank you so much for this review, we love hearing that you enjoyed the experience and found the hike worth the effort. It’s wonderful to know Katy’s care and communication helped make the day even better. Thanks for spending part of your trip with us!
I had a great time on my tour with my guide, Jorge. It took around 1.5hrs hiking to reach the top where you can see the lagoons. With the high altitude the hike is a little draining but the scenery is worth it and is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the hike and the beautiful scenery along the way. It’s great to know Jorge made the experience even better with his guidance throughout the tour. Thanks for choosing Gran Colombia Tours—we’d love to have you back for more adventures in Colombia!
The hike and the views are really impressing. My guide Myra provided a lot of information on the fauna and the flora of the paramo and was sensible to the issue of the altitude (bit of pression in my ears in my case).
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the hike and the impressive views of the páramo. Thank you for choosing Gran Colombia Tours—we hope to welcome you again on another experience in Colombia!
Daniel was a fantastic guide with good ornithological knowledge. The Sumapaz Páramo is a spectacular natural area worth a visit.

Overall we enjoyed this tour. The scenery was breathtaking and unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We did some bird watching which was a bonus. The guide Daniel was kind and knowledgeable about birds, but his English was poor. The 2 hour drive to the trailhead was rough and bumpy made worse by a cramped and uncomfortable van with bad suspension. The driver was very kind and safe though. The TripAdvisor listing is misleading as we did not actually enter the National Park, hiking from a farm up into private land at the edge of the park. So the “What’s Included” segment saying entry fees are covered is not true. The hike was 1 hour and 45 minutes up and took us to a beautiful lookout at 12,300 feet, so the gain in altitude was a bit less than 2,000 feet. The trail was slightly muddy, not difficult, but required good balance as it was very rutted and a bit rocky. Bring your own water and snacks, and layer up because the temperature changed from the 60’s and sunny to the low 40’s with wind and misty rain.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery and the overall experience, as well as Daniel’s knowledge and the driver’s care. We also appreciate your comments regarding the transportation, guide language, and tour description. Based on feedback like yours, we have already updated the information on our website to avoid misunderstandings about the itinerary and inclusions. Your input is very valuable, and we continue working on improving every aspect of our experiences. Thank you for choosing Gran Colombia Tours.
We walked into the beautiful Paramo de Sumapaz, with our super guide Alexander! The Paramo is an unique ecosystem in the world. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing! Steven was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and took the experience to the top. The hike itself is not for the weak— pack waterproof shoes and prepare for a long, treacherous journey through deep mud and up steep inclines. The views along the way and at the top make it all worth it. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Bogota and wishing to take a day out of the city to appreciate nature and one of the most unique biomes in the world! Big thanks again to our guide Steven for making the trip extra special.
Amazing day with Alexander in the Paramount. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about showing us the fauna and flora. Would definitely recommend to all tourists willing to discover a unique environment.

We got lucky with beautiful weather, and the tour was fantastic. Our guide Diego was friendly and passionate about showing us the páramo. It is a beautiful landscape just a couple hours outside of the city, and a great way to see a completely different part of bogota. Would definitely recommend
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had fantastic weather and that Diego’s passion made the tour even more special.
