As it was my second day in Bogota it was a great way to discover the city. The tour was very well organised with a guide leading and a mechanic closing the group. The tour was done in a way to avoid trafic and to not disturb people on the pavement. We were lucky and we had a sunny day, so in this case plan for sun screen, long leaves shirt and a cap.

Rodrigo the tour guide was great. Met at 8:30 at hostel. Breakfast was solid. About a 1.5hr drive into Choachi. Great views on ride. About 5hr hike to the waterfall. On the way back lunch and another smaller waterfall. We had some furry friends follow us from there. This was well worth the money and an experience I’ll remember forever.

Fantastic day out, hoghly recommended and one of the hoghlights of my visit to Columbia. We went in a small group and the driver and guide were excellent.

Juan Carlos was a great guide! Very informative, entertaining and patient. Just make sure wear comfortable shoes!

An all around amazing experience w/ one of the best guides - Rodrigo!
