We stayed 2 nights on the auberge, 3 hours walking from the entrance, runnig up the hill, very profesional the local people. We recomend riding the horses, take a big coat and waterproof boots

This is a beautiful place. I will tell you , even the easiest hike down the mountain is very hard. I would say for experienced hikers only. You will need to approach this place with a LOT of water and nuts and granola bars. Extreme hiking! The lodge area, once you reach it, is beautiful...bare minimum on food, but ok. They do have a limited menu with full lunch service, cokes, beer, water...Zip Lining and Rapelling are available here as well. I would caution you about riding the horses back to the top of the mountain. Do NOT do this. I am an experienced rider and this was one of the most harrowing experiences of my life. Dangerous...no instruction (Spanish spoken only), no helmets..it is straight up on concrete and rocks. The horses slip and slide all over. The "guide" is constantly urging them to trot.gallop UP. Really bad experience!

Bird-watchers will endure sub-par accommodations to wakeup with the birds before the clouds roll in. Perhaps we are fussy travelers, but the lodge at Chicaque needs a lot of attention.

We hiked downhill from the parking lot to the lodge and uphill back. A grueling 3+ miles over mostly rock, not a soft trail. Very difficult for my 57 year old boy, and my wife channeled her inner Cheryl Strayed!. The park is beautiful, but the traffic both there and back is as grueling as the hike was. It took well over 2 hours back to the Old Town in Bogata, which put a huge damper on the experience. If you are only in Bogata for a few days, I would choose other options due to the traffic, which can be a day killer.

This place seems to be somewhat a secret with the locals. I have not yet met one Colombian that has been here, and I've lived here for over 6 yrs. It's a natural cloud forest and SO beautiful. You can hike down, and hire a horse to ride back to the top. You can even camp down on the bottom. Google the name, and you'll get the specifics on the park website. Well worth the visit, but you'll need a whole day for a visit, or more if you want to spend the night. it's camping/lodge style.

A one day trip in the cloud forest in this national park is definitely worth it! You hike about 3 hours within a facinating flora & fauna. The very high humidity and the animal sounds were just amazing.. go for it!

This is a beautiful spot, but the staff who work there are thieves. Keep an eye on your things and don't leave anything, valuable or otherwise, out of your sight.

A bit of a drive outside Bogota to this cloud forest but once there you have lovely walks through the forest to see the sights, birds and some wildlife. Walks vary and some are quite strenuous over steep rocky paths. When you get to the bottom there is a 'refuge' where you can get a meal - the trout was fresh and delicious. If you have had enough they will take you back up to the top in a vehicle for a fee.

I live in Bogota and I'm surprised that not many locals know about this park that is just outside the city. When we arrived, a ranger explained the geological formations in the park and gave us suggestions for our stay. We reserved the Tangara treehouse in advance and hiked down there without any issues. The treehouse is beautiful and comfortable. With all meals included I think it works out to be a good deal. The hike out of the park is a rough one. It is about 2km going up a steep trail the whole way. It took us about an hour to hike down, and 2 hours to hike back up. Thankfully the cloud forest provides a lot of shade and cool breezes so it's not too terrible. The reason that I wouldn't recommend this for visitors with limited time is the infamous traffic. It nearly ruined the trip for us! It took almost 2 hours to travel about 25km to the park... you have to pass through the south part of the city and through a town called Soacha, which is completely congested with traffic. Staying overnight seems to be the best option - cabins and campsites are available, as well as rooms in the main lodge.

I must say this is one of the most beautiful and unique Cloudforest ecosystems I've visited. At just 45 minutes from the south west of Bogota, Is the perfect place to get together the uniqueness of the cloudforest, the birds and the amazing views of the top of the mountains.
