Hike Bogotá’s high-altitude Sumapaz páramo in a small group, with hotel pickup, a private reserve ticket, and snacks plus picnic lunch.
“The driver was right on time, but the communication wasn't clear. I asked him to stop and buy water, but he insisted that there will be some water at the destination. When we got there, the tour guide gave me some sweet tea and a piece of bread. Thisis bad because I went hiking for three hours without any water. He didn't have any water in the car either. I would recommend that there should be some water for hikers.”
