Description
Experience Bogota’s own hiking trails with the Las Moyas hike: ideal for layover travelers, sunrise photographers, and eco‑minded hikers. Become a Guardian of the Mountain for a day.
Embark on one of Bogotá’s best hiking routes with the Las Moyas Tour—a guided mountain trek through verdant woodlands and high‑elevation grasslands just five minutes from the city’s liveliest restaurant and nightlife districts.
Surrounded by nature, you can find a unique vantage point to enjoy one of the best views of the Colombian capital in all its splendor. Contemplate the magnificence of this enormous urban center: from east to west and north to south.
Covering 3.5 miles and 550m of elevation, the trail leads you across three distinct ecosystems, including páramo meadows where centuries‑old frailejones stand sentinel above the capital. Throughout the hike, you'll be accompanied by EcoGuardians—local environmental stewards dedicated to protecting these fragile mountain landscapes.
Your entrance fee directly funds reforestation, fire‑control, and environmental‑education projects that safeguard these iconic plants and the wildlife that depends on them. As a participant, you’ll also become a certified Mountain Guardian of Las Moyas, receiving a commemorative certificate as a symbol of your contribution to Bogotá’s natural heritage.
Ideal for layover travelers, sunrise photographers, and eco‑minded hikers seeking crowd‑free adventures, this morning hike finishes before midday, freeing your afternoon for museums, dining, or whatever Bogotá inspires next. Certified EcoGuardian guides keep groups small, share local lore, and pace the ascent so everyone can savor the views and the silence.
