Hike in Bogota's East Hills
Bogotá, Colombia
4 hours
What You Will Do
Bogotá sits on a vast savannah formed by the east-Andean mountain range at an altitude of 2600 MAMSL. Although the majority of the city is rather flat, the city limits to the East with an incredible mountain range, locally known as the Cerros Orientales, that follows Bogota’s territory lines from south to north.
The mountainous landscape not only provides a profound visual but also a considerable impact on Bogota’s weather. Although these hills are always present, they are completely utterly to many locals and visitors. After a big push made by the residents of some bordering neighborhoods, the local administration has made available and connected several hiking trails to offer citizens the option to discover one of the Capital’s greatest natural treasures.
