Quebrada La Vieja

You need a reservation to hike here. Reservations can be made through the app or on the website. Days and times usually open up about a week in advance. If you would like to go on a weekend, I would recommend booking one week in advance. I feel safe on the trails.

Loved it! Crew is very efficient check you in with the online registration

Wonderful hike with varied nature, starting right from the city (no need to drive anywhere). You need to reserve your slot a day in advance before 2pm, and plan to go early! They close at 9:30am and are very strict with kicking everyone out at that time. So if you don’t make it to the viewpoint before 9:30, you will be turned around by the police and park rangers.

We did the Virgin Route, where there is a beautiful pine forest where you can jump barefoot on the soft and padded natural surface made by the fallen leaves of the pine trees, throughout the route you hear the waterfall

Beautiful place..it is open now, you have to get s permit online to access on the schedules provided. Nice walk , great views landscapes, mountains and nature. Near the city.

There is little to add to the chorus of love that this trail deserves. I'll just add some context. Quebrada la Vieja is one of the entry points to the hills of Bogotá. They are highly protected as rivers feeding the water to this 10m+ metropolis go through this area. Hence the trails have a daily limit on the amount of visitors per trail. Google "eaab senderos" to find a poorly designed government website to get your free booking. There's an app as well apparently but if you come and visit only once, feels pointless to install. Booking trails has to be done just a few days in advance. I was lucky enough to book one the night before. Your mileage may vary. One more note, getting confirmation does not guarantee entry. After showing up at 7am one morning the path was shut down for the day due to rain - plan for contingency, as rain and Bogotá are inseparable. I went to La Cruz, one of the 5 trails. Not the hardest one, but the only one that had slots available. I imagine all of them are great in their own way and provide a different viewpoint to the city aside from the typical Montserrat.

The place is really nice, you're completely in nature, getting fresh air, a place to relax, meditate, go on a hike, take some pictures and it's actually safe because you count with the police company and the people in charge of the hikes. They ask for your information to have a control from everyone that goes there.

Amazing hiking zone. Three main routes to choose from with the highest taking you up into the Paramo overlooking Bogota. There is a booking required on EAAB website with specified times and routes. The website is down on weekends and national holidays and must be booked before ,2pm day prior. The paths are well looked after, and end in incredible views over the city. Highly recommended!
