Bogotá is a city of 163,000 hectares that shines for its green areas, which cover 75 percent of its extension, and the Guadalupe - Aguanoso trail is one of those places that prove it. This trail is part of the Bosque Oriental de Bogotá Protected Forest Reserve located in the Santa Fe locality. It is an ecosystem that is home to essential species for water -such as the frailejón- and offers a panoramic view worthy of postcards. As one of the tutelary hills of the city, from there, you could contrast the beautiful nature and the majesty of metropolitan Bogotá.
This well-marked trail will take you to one of the most stunning panoramic views of Bogotá while you enjoy the imposing forests that create an autumn landscape.
