Reviews
4.9(46)Beautiful hiking area with gorgeous views if you are lucky enough to go on a clear and sunny day. You need a reservation which is best made a week in advance as spots fill up. There are police and helpful park staff along the way. Guadalupe is a 5-10 minute walk further up the road from the trailhead. To access the area you can take the bus that goes to Choachí and walk up the road approximately 2 km to the trailhead. If you come by car, there is limited parking. You could take an Uber or taxi there, but you likely will not be able get one back to Bogota. I took an Uber there and the public bus back to Bogota from the main road.
Amazing experience. Try to book the “Alto de la Cruz” trail. Is totally worth!!
If you visit the Guadalupe Sanctuary, take the opportunity to hike the Guadalupe-Aguanoso trail. It's not demanding or difficult, and you can stay in the pine forest. Unfortunately, the trail isn't open all the way to Cerro Aguanoso, but it's worth it. I recommend going to Guadalupe on Saturday, as the road is easier to navigate. Avoid Sundays, and therefore, hike the trail on Saturday along with the Aqueduct.
To enter, you need to make a reservation online at Cerros de Acueducto. It's recommended to make your reservation on Mondays for a morning hike to the summit on the weekend. Bring light and be in good physical condition for the climb. The pine forest is also a great option for families to enjoy the hike.
El sendero Guadalupe–Aguanoso está ubicado cerca al cerro de Guadalupe y es administrado por la Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá. Para poder ingresar es necesario realizar una reserva previa a través de su página web, ya que el acceso es controlado. Este espacio cuenta con varios recorridos, y uno de ellos es el Bosque de los Pinos, que es el más corto. Aunque no es muy largo, tiene una dificultad media, principalmente porque el camino es en subida y luego en bajada, además de contar con bastantes escaleras. Por esta razón, no lo recomiendo para personas con problemas en las rodillas o en las articulaciones. Para el resto de personas, es un sendero adecuado para visitar en familia, incluso con niños, siempre y cuando se tenga un nivel físico básico. Es un recorrido relativamente corto y muy agradable, rodeado de mucha naturaleza. Es importante tener en cuenta que no es un sitio turístico, sino un espacio para la contemplación de los ecosistemas de la ciudad. Durante el recorrido se pueden observar diferentes tipos de plantas, hongos y flora propia del entorno, por lo que es fundamental respetar el lugar, no salirse de los senderos y cuidar el ecosistema. Un plan muy recomendado para conectarse con la naturaleza dentro de Bogotá 🌿
