Siscunsí moor

Siscunsi Paramo is located in the highlands of Sogamoso and has beautiful lagoons, countless water sources and the typical frailjones (plants that live at high altitude in Paramo ecosystems). However, this Páramo is very special because of the Andean condor that can be seen. Because Páramo Siscunsi was selected as an Andean Condor release site by the “Programa Nacional del Condor Andino”, it has a nice change to see this iconic and endangered Colombian bird in its natural habitat.

Candelas Jumping

The impressive waterfall “Salto de Candelas” is the second highest waterfall in Colombia, now becoming the first, as the first one is drying up, while this one is even scaring how much water it has. It is also one of the most important natural reserves in the Andes Mountains. The Cusiana River, one of the most important rivers in the department of Casanare, originates in the reserve. The area is considered by the local government as a cultural and environmental heritage.

Oceta Moor

This particular Páramo is considered by Páramo experts to be the most beautiful and spectacular Páramo in the world. It has a city lost in stone, several types of Frailejones (plants that live at high altitude in the Paramo ecosystem), gardens and colorful flowers. Although this Páramo can be breathtakingly beautiful and spectacular, it is still little known by tourists.

Lake Tota & Playa Blanca

Lake Tota is the largest and highest lake in Colombia. The lake was one of the most important and secret places of the Muisca culture and stands out for its impressive surrounding territory and trout fishing. Lake Tota also contains a beautiful white sand beach that can easily be mistaken for a sea beach and is the ideal place to start a boating trip or practice various water and extreme sports such as kayaking, sailing, jet skiing, horseback riding, and canoeing.

Morca

Most of the inhabitants of Morca live from the exploitation of coal. However, most Colombians know Morca because it is an important place for religious people.

Mongui
