The Eastern Hills of Bogotá protect the city, shape the eastern mountain range of Colombia and represent the biodiverse wealth of the country in the city.
This chain of mountains extend from south to north and are part of towns such as Usme, San Cristóbal, Santa Fe, Chapinero and Usaquén; and today, they are considered protected areas for the country.
Exploring the Eastern Hills of the city on horseback or walking along its trails will allow you to find a natural refuge of incomparable beauty: magical landscapes, diverse fauna, vegetation with abundant forests and rustic trails, are just the beginning of an adventure that will captivate you.
Los Cerros Orientales is a setting to learn about the ancestral history of the capital, taste typical Bogota dishes and live closely the tradition of connecting, as the peasants of yesteryear did with the mountains. Marvel at the high peaks, take a deep breath and let nature inspire you!
As you travel through emblematic hills such as Monserrate and Guadalupe, you will experience the peasant culture firsthand. You will experience a mental and physical connection with the peaks and you will see the immensity of the great capital from the viewpoints set up to contemplate the magical Bogota in all its splendor.
Learn about myths and legends, recognize fantastic stories that surround the most famous hills of the city, and in the evening you will see an infinite sunset of ocher tones that mix with the celestial blue of the sky and the millions of stories that you will find in every Bogota citizen who inhabits the city.
During your visit to the Eastern Hills, before your descent via funicular from Monserrate, you will be able to identify the city limits with the Cundiboyacense savanna, a region that complements the social and cultural dynamics of the imposing capital of Colombia.
Bogota is full of surprises and the visit to the Eastern Hills is just the beginning. Discover everything the capital has to offer in gastronomy, adventure, urban planning and well-being. Fall in love with Bogota!
