4-Day Tour Details
Day 1: Bogotá - Boyacá
At the designated time, we will pick you up at the meeting point in Bogotá that you select to start our adventure toward the department of Boyacá. We will travel for 4 hours until we reach the hotel, where we'll have dinner and spend the night.
Day 2: Lake Tota - Nobsa
We will begin the day with a tasty breakfast before setting off to Lake Tota, the highest navigable lake in Colombia and the second-largest lake in South America. Its famous Playa Blanca will surprise you with its white sand and cold waters, surrounded by mountains. Upon arrival, we'll enjoy a speedboat ride in the lake, the perfect moment to relax and connect with the serene environment.
After this first time in contact with nature, you can choose two of the following activities, each lasting about 20 minutes:
- Paragliding flight to admire the lake from the air
- Horseback ride to explore the Andean landscapes in a calm way
After enjoying these activities and grabbing some lunch, we will head to Nobsa, a charming town known as the world capital of the ruana, a typical garment from the Colombian Andes. For almost 1 hour, we will stroll around its streets filled with craft workshops and discover the cultural value of this traditional clothing.
At night, we will return to the hotel for dinner, and if the weather allows, we'll participate in a bonfire under the stars, where you can share your anecdotes of the day under the clear sky of Boyacá. It's the perfect way to end day 2!
Day 3: Paipa Hot Springs - Vargas Swamp - Monguí
After having breakfast at the hotel, we will set off to the famous Paipa Hot Springs. Here, you will have 4 hours of free time to relax in its thermal pools, with waters rich in minerals that emerge naturally from the ground and are surrounded by green hills. You will feel rejuvenated!
After eating lunch on your own, we will continue the day with a short stop at Vargas Swamp, a crucial scenario for the independence of Colombia. Here, we'll learn about the brave men who fought in this important battle.
Then, we will head to Monguí, one of Colombia's Pueblos Patrimonio ("Heritage Towns"), a picturesque town famous for its soccer ball factories. We will visit one of the factories and, in just 15 minutes, you will make your own soccer ball, which you can take as a souvenir.
At night, we will return to the hotel for dinner, and those who want to continue the day with some fun can enjoy a themed party. You will have a blast!
Day 4: Boyacá - Guátika Biopark - Bogotá
Once we have breakfast at the hotel, we will go to the Guátika Biopark, an animal sanctuary where over 200 species live. We will spend 3 to 4 hours here, exploring the park's paths and choosing between one of the following activities:
- Zipline: glide on a zipline more than 1640 ft (500 m) long, soaring over the park and enjoying one-of-a-kind scenic views
- Sky Coaster: experience an extreme thrill on this aerial pendulum that will lift you high into the air before descending at high speed, simulating a controlled free fall
- Climbing wall: put your skills and bravery to the test and go up a climbing wall designed to challenge both beginners and experts
- Eco-friendly horseback ride: enjoy a horseback ride along the park's trails, surrounded by nature and local fauna, in a calm and educational activity
After enjoying these adrenaline-pumping adventures in nature, you will have the chance to have lunch inside the park. When we have eaten, we will begin our journey back to Bogotá and say our goodbyes at the starting point of day 1 between 7 pm and 8 pm.
