The tour was very well organized. The driver was at the specified location when indicated, and we drove around an hour into the mountains outside bogota. The location was the hike was stunning with these rolling hills and limestone cliffs. Our guide was very friendly, and led us without any difficulty or confusion. Overall, it was a pleasant day, and I’d recommend the tour operator for other excursions.

Two of us went for the 8 hour Mountaintop Paramo Tour. The tour started with a drive out of Bogota and into the Sumapaz Paramo. Camillo (our guide) talked to us about the neighborhoods of Bogota we were passing through as well as the surrounding geography. It was excellent to learn from him during the car ride instead of passing in silence. We started our visit at a local guides home where we were treated to warm milk and arepas which helped prepare us for our trek! It was amazing to watch the vegetation change as we climbed the soft dirt trail through the cloud forest into the sub paramo and then the high elevation paramo. Camillo taught us English, Spanish, and Muisca words for the plants and explained their unique adaptations to the environment and any uses these plants might have to humans and their role in nature. Many of the plants I have never seen or only seen at a botanical garden. He was a very knowledgeable and made sure to point out a variety of plants from the large frailejon to tiny orchids hanging from trees. At high elevation we found ourselves inside the clouds which prevented a view of the high-altitude lagoons but provided an excuse to notice the little things- ear shaped lichens, a caterpillar, tiny flowers, before we headed back down the trail. Camillo made sure to keep the group together as we stopped for pictures and to make sure we kept our footing on the steep trail. Back at the house, we snacked on leftover arepas and hot aguapanela con limon from the host family, which helped warm us up from our chilly trip. On our way back into the city we learned more from Camillo about the neighborhoods, local graffiti, and additional natural areas to check out near Bogota. Overall great day and an excellent experience!

A driver and interpreter collected the pair of us from our hotel in Bogota. They turned up on time, took us to interesting, lovely venues, and found lots of birds en route. We were the sole clients so we travelled in a car with just the four of us. We had stated that our major interest was birds, specifically hummingbirds. The driver was also a good bird guide, equipped with a 'scope which he used to help us see distant species. We had a comfortable overnight stay at a clean quiet farm, with a good home cooked dinner. It was a very pleasant two days. The only puzzlement was the title of the tour - we hardly saw any butterflies at all, however as they arranged the trip to fit our expressed preferences, maybe it would have been slightly different had we requested to see butterflies. Or maybe it was just the wrong time of year for butterflies.

Thank you for the great review! On a very sunny day we are likely to see more butterflies, but you are right, we usually try to tailor our trips to the interests of our visitors. Please let us know if you have any special interests before booking or en route and we will do our best to deliver!

10/10 recommend booking with Andes Eco Tours. My family and I did the falls hike with them back in January. We had several questions leading up to the trip about trail conditions, they were incredibly responsive and helpful so we knew exactly what to expect!

They picked us up at our hotel (you couldn’t drive right up to it bc traffic wasn’t allowed on that block) but our guide came to the hotel and showed us where the car was. The car ride was beautiful and scenic.

On the hike my parents came (in their mid 60s). Our guide was patient, went our pace and was so knowledgeable of the area. The hike itself was beautiful and the waterfall so impressive! Even though we took a little longer on the hike he asked if we wanted to stop for food on the way back and get snacks.

We had a great experience-definitely recommend!

The day was full of activities and very interesting. We explored the park by jeep and foot, according to the limits of our fitness due to the altitude. The guide and driver were very helpful and friendly. The Paramo is a different environment, interesting and stimulating. The bird watching was impossible due to strong rain but the guide did anyway a walk commenting the environment and giving useful info. We didn't manage to see the bear but we saw some deer.

This is my second tour with Andes Eco Tours. This trip was a hike to Chingaza. They do a great job of communicating through out the booking process and answer any questions...I was picked up on time from my hotel. My guide, Miguel did an awesome job sharing his passion about his country, culture, and eco systems. The weather was perfect for hike..bring layers as climate changes throughout the hike from warm to windy and cold. Highly recommend this tour operator.

We had excellent weather and the trail was just amazing. In fact pretty easy but in muddy conditions could have been different. Our guide was very friendly and shared a lot of useful details about flora and fauna. The views were spectacular so highly recommend as a nice one day nature activity to espace the busy Bogota.

My mum and I wanted to do a short hiking trip close to Bogotá and Andes EcoTours was one of the few providers of such. We were only 6 people plus the guide which was great. It's a very easy walk (rather than hike) of just 4km with stops every 10-15 minutes. The nature is very beautiful and varies a lot. Andrés, our guide, was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. The only minus point is that I think the tour is overpriced with 70 dollars per person.

Hi, we are glad you and your mother enjoyed our hike to the cloud forest and waterfalls near Bogotá. We are neither the cheapest nor the most expensive option in the city and our aim is to run the best quality nature tours rather than budget tours. Instead of taking large groups at a low price (like most tour operators) we run small, high quality group tours to ensure that our clients have the best possible experience in nature. The price you pay also helps support local rural families and a number of conservation projects as seen on our website. We thank you for your review and hope to see you back soon in the Andes.

I really enjoyed my hike through Chingaza National Park. The eco system is unique and the biodiversity is enormous with so many different flowers and plants. We saw some nice birds, like Tawny Antpitta and the black-chested buzzard-eagle, as well. If you love nature and are into a nice hike, I can definetely recommend you this trip

A great tour of Maza Fonte on the edge of Chingaza PNN. The area was amazing, high Andean forest with endemic species of frailejon, clear evidence of spectacled bear presence and other amazing plants and sights. A truly alien landscape and a great experience.
The tour also involves a local cooperative working to protect the paramo environment outside the PNN and involves a local guide, which makes it all the more worth doing.
