## About this plan

Looking for things to do in Bogota that break your routine? This horseback ride or hiking route through the La Calera mountains works well as a half day escape. You leave from Centro Comercial Avenida Chile and within a short time you are breathing fresh Andean air.

The experience offers two options. The horseback ride covers gentle trails through thick vegetation, with views of the San Rafael reservoir and the town of La Calera. The hike follows a similar path at low difficulty, good for noticing the local plants. In both cases, you enjoy a traditional Colombian snack right in the mountains.

It is a solid plan for anyone who wants to unplug without going far. A Spanish speaking guide, round trip transport, and a schedule that fits a morning or an afternoon.
