Know before you go

  • Book tours in advance, especially during peak seasons, as groups are limited.
  • Bring layers and rain gear; Bogota's weather is unpredictable and high-altitude sites can be cold.
  • Don't forget binoculars and a camera for wildlife and scenic views.
  • Carry water and snacks, as some tours venture into remote areas with few facilities.
