La Serranía

A tour of the Bogotá Aqueduct, showcasing the history, fauna, and flora of the Eastern Hills. From the summit, you can see the San Rafael Reservoir. This is a guided tour, unlike other tours such as Santa Ana La Aguadora. It is necessary to book with the Bogotá Aqueduct, as they provide the necessary security (police, first aid). Since access to the trail is not yet controlled, it could be dangerous to hike alone. Advantages: Excellent guides from the aqueduct (history, fauna, and flora of the hills) Great views of northern Bogotá Recommendation: Also book the connection to the Santa Ana La Aguadora Trail

Like most of our eastern hills, it's a 5-star hike...stairs, road, rocks, water, trees, vegetation, and water guides (who arrive late, just like the police), but that's easily resolved; they're 5 stars too. The source of streams and the viewpoint overlooking the San Rafael reservoir are a reward for our hike. It starts in San Isidro Park, behind the Belaire shopping center. A highly recommended hike for locals and visitors alike...afterwards, there's a small shopping center with a food court, a good coffee shop, a budget-friendly supermarket, a brewery, and parking for cars and bicycles. You're all invited!

"The vegetation was already signaling our higher altitude, as the first frailejón appeared. We were transitioning from high Andean forest to a páramo ecosystem. We call this transition zone subpáramo." Read the full review on the blogspot from-the-underworld, in the Ad Gaiam cum Venere section.

An excellent option to leave the concrete jungle behind and connect with nature

Camino La Serrania offers a beautiful and expansive view of much of the Usaquen and Suba districts. It's a moderately difficult route; the most challenging aspect isn't the ascent or descent itself, but rather the time it takes (3 hours and 40 minutes).
