Begin your day with a full-day adventure to La Chorrera & El Chiflón, Colombia’s tallest waterfalls.

Hike through a vibrant forest at 2,600 meters, learning about native plants, wildlife, and Muisca heritage. Depending on trail conditions, visit El Chiflón first or head directly to La Chorrera, plunging 590 meters down a towering cliff. Enjoy free time to relax, take photos, and connect with nature. After soaking in the scenery, share a countryside lunch with your group before returning to Bogotá—refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to Colombia’s natural beauty. This experience blends adventure, culture, and sustainability, offering a meaningful escape into the heart of the Andes.

5.00Lorena was an incredible guide on this amazing experience. She was so knowledgeable and showed a clear love for nature and Bogota! The breakfast was HUGE and the lunch was delicious. The hike was moderate but beyond worth it. The views were spectacular and the waterfalls were the cherry on top. 11/10 experience. Book this now!
A challenging hike with pretty views!

5.00Check out details about the trail on AllTrails- it is a challenging hike because you are at a high altitude and the path is natural. Wear sturdy and waterproof sneakers or boots and poles would be a good idea - it was wet and slippery when we went. Make sure to acclimatize before, otherwise it will be much more difficult if you are not in shape. I do not recommend for anyone with limited mobility. The landscape is beautiful and the hike is not too long, so the challenge is worth it!

5.00A wonderful experience. The waterfall is only the beginning. This is a beautiful park with amazing views vistas and only an hour from the city. Nuestro guia Nick era un parce muy amable. Not a long hike but it can be challenging due to the altitude if you are not acclimatized.
Stunning waterfalls & great tour guide!

5.00We had the best time on our tour of La Chorrera!!! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the waterfalls and the significance they hold for indigenous communities. Everything ran super smoothly, we couldn't have asked for a better day! This is a great hike to do on a rainy day as there are fewer people on the trail and the waterfalls look simply magical!! The food was also amazing. Great value for money, and I'd recommend this tour to everyone visiting Bogota. <3 :-)
