## About this plan

Travel from Bogotá to the Sumapaz Páramo on a full day excursion. The route leaves central Bogotá and heads into the countryside, reaching the largest páramo in the world at over 3500 meters above sea level.

You stop along the way for a traditional farm breakfast. Once in the páramo, you walk trails lined with frailejones, glacial lakes, and lookout points over the Valley of the Frailejones. Local wildlife is a highlight, with Andean bears, deer, eagles, and condors living in the area.

The day also covers the indigenous traditions of the people who lived here before the Spanish arrived. The trip wraps up with a fruit snack at a local farmhouse and the drive back to Bogotá.
