South of Bogota at the altitude of 3,200 meters you will find one of the most beautiful lakes in the savannah of Bogota - the Lake of Alar. It belongs to Ciudad Bolivar and forms a part of the local natural reserve (Páramo de las Mercedes) in the locality of Pasquilla.

It is quite a surprise that in the mountains of Bogotá exists a natural sanctuary which has been ignored. In the midst of extensive fields of “frailejones” surrounded by imposing cliffs this trail is an excellent viewpoint of the region and the south of the city. In the company of local people we will ascent through mountain forest in order to reach the fields of typical vegetation of the “páramo” and its lakes.

Distance of the trail: 8 to 10km. The cost of the hike includes transportation and guidance. Each person must bring lunch and hydration. Always be prepared weather changes.
