La Chorrera Waterfall - Unique countryside experience close to Bogotá

Overview

Great Colombian countryside experience! You will do the hike on your own - the path is totally safe! 90 minutes drive from Bogotá, La Chorrera waterfall at 590 meters is the highest in Colombia. Despite this fact, not very many people know of its existence – it’s another hidden gem. The site can be accessed by crossing the 3400-meter high mountains around Bogotá. The scenery leading up to the waterfall is wonderful, green, with lots of fresh air. The hike itself is not the easiest, there and back it takes around 3 hours. But the view and the scenery makes it very much worth your while! There’s also a smaller waterfall at the beginning of the hike, El Chiflon, of which you can even go behind – it provides an incredible experience for hikers. On the way to La Chorrera waterfall you go through a fantastic ‘fog forest’ that is surrounded by local farms. You can get refreshing drinks and food from local farmers (freshly made stuffed arepas and empanadas).
