I recently had the opportunity to complete this hike through Bogota's East Hills and it was a wonderful experience. My guide Samuel was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the regeneration and biodiversity projects in this area. He also spoke excellent English.
The hike itself is not that challenging if you are fit, are acclimatised to the altitude and have appropriate footwear, which means you can focus on enjoying the beautiful views, meeting the friendly trail dog and taking in all the flora and fauna. It was also nice to meet some of the young locals who help maintain the trail as part of their community, some of whom have positively transformed their lives as part of this social project.
This was one of the highlights of my trip to Bogota and I highly recommend it for those who love getting outdoors and seeing a view of Bogota that not many tourists see.
