Chingaza Siecha Lakes Trek
The breathtaking andean lagoons that make up Chingaza Siecha Lakes will allow you to experience a high altittude ecosystem (3800 m.a.s.l.) filled with unique landscapes and flora. A visit to Chingaza National Park will make you feel like you have stepped onto another planet.
ItineraryDifficulty: This trek is of high difficulty. It is required that you be in good physical condition due to the low air pressure present above 3000 m.a.s.l. The trails are uneven, steep and muddy most of the time. The elevation gain for this trek is about 400 meters, starting at 3400 m.a.s.l. and reaching 3800 m.a.s.l. Keep in mind that each hour you spend hiking at high altitudes is the equivalent effort of two hours at sea level.
Accessibility: Anybody between the ages of 10 to 70 years-old can join. We are happy to arrange a customized hike should you have a visual or hearing impairment.
Duration: The tour is approximately 10 hours total, from start to finish, with a hiking time of about 4 to 5 hours.
Location: Chingaza National Park is located to the North East of Bogotá approximately 2 hours from our meeting point in Bogotá.
Elevation: The maximum altitude reached is 3800 m.a.s.l.
Weather: The average temperature in the páramo is 10ºC, but it can drop down to 5ºC rapidly depending on cloud cover. You could also experience the full strength of the tropical sun with temperatures of 16ºC.
