When you think of traveling in Colombia, highlights like Tayrona, Salento and Medell\u00edn quickly come to mind. But actually Colombia is known for something few tourists see: p\u00e1ramo. Indeed, the most beautiful p\u00e1ramo in the world can be found in Colombia. Namely P\u00e1ramo de Ocet\u00e1. Now I have seen p\u00e1ramo many times, but Ocet\u00e1 is surely the most spectacular p\u00e1ramo area I have been to so far. It is also without a doubt the easiest p\u00e1ramo area to reach for travelers in Colombia. In short: want to see a spectacular piece of nature that can hardly be seen anywhere else in the world? Then don’t skip P\u00e1ramo de Ocet\u00e1 near Mongu\u00ed, one of the most beautiful villages in Colombia! Hiking in Colombia: P\u00e1ramo de Ocet\u00e1. CAUTION!<\/span> Currently (January 2024), the p\u00e1ramo is closed indefinitely due to social problems in the community. It is unknown when it will reopen. It is best to contact a tour guide listed at the bottom of this article.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

If you want to go to P\u00e1ramo de Ocet\u00e1 you must first go to Mongu\u00ed<\/strong>. And that is by no means a punishment. Mongu\u00ed is known as one of the most beautiful villages in Colombia<\/strong>, located in equally beautiful Boyac\u00e1<\/strong><\/a>. Close to Lago de Tota<\/strong><\/a>. The village is located at an altitude of 2900 meters and so you will find a fresh climate with an average temperature between 8 and 17 degrees, depending on whether the sun is shining. Just like everywhere else in the Colombian mountains.<\/p>\n

Mongu\u00ed is not only a very picturesque white village, it is also the ball village of Colombia. Soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs, leather balls, plastic balls, big balls, small balls: in Mongu\u00ed they make and sell it all. Need a ball or just want to see balls hanging in the streets? Then bring a visit to Mongu\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
