Discover an exciting tour through the urban vegetable gardens of Bogotá. On this tour, you will find the charms of vegetable gardens, such as the Monterrey vegetable garden, next to the El Burro wetland, where the magic of urban agriculture reveals the history of this public space's transformation while learning about recycling and the use of waste.

The frailejones are plants that grow one centimeter each year and make up the icy paramo ecosystem; they collect most of the water that reaches Bogota's homes and create a landscape worthy of admiration. In the south of Bogotá, lovers of mountain biking and outdoor adventures will find in the Frailejón Trail the opportunity to enjoy a natural paradise while learning about its ecological function and the need to preserve it.

The trail La Serranía has only one section to go in and out, and there is sand and small stones, so wear tennis shoes or trekking shoes. Later, you will encounter a mountain trail. This 13-kilometer trail, which is quite physically demanding—it takes more than six hours—will take you through a lush Andean forest landscape at a maximum altitude of 3,050 meters above sea level.

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.
