Hiking in Colombia is great. Enjoy beautiful views and extraordinary ecosystems. Among the most popular places to hike in Colombia are the Valley of Cocora<\/strong><\/a> and Ciudad Perdida. The hike that left the most impression on me was, of course, in Los Nevados<\/strong><\/a>. And also the hike from Barichara to Guane<\/strong><\/a> I found fantastic. But in addition to the well-known spots for hiking in Colombia, you can also hike off the beaten path. In places where hardly anyone comes, enjoy unique vistas, away from mass tourism. For this you don’t have to drive or fly for hours first, but can just do it in the surroundings of Bogot\u00e1. We found a guide in the region of Sisga<\/strong><\/a>, who took us on a 10-kilometer hike to the top of a mountain. With an amazing view of Lake Sisga. Go off the beaten path and discover Colombia!<\/p>\n

Embalse de Sisga: that beautiful view on the way to Villa de Leyva<\/h2>\n

If you travel through Colombia and catch the bus to the north, such as Villa de Leyva<\/strong><\/a> or Lago de Tota<\/strong><\/a>, then you find yourself enjoying the beautiful view of Lake Sisga from the bus. The iconic bridge you drive over gives you a glimpse of Colombia off the beaten path. However, few travelers actually stop at Lake Sisga. A reservoir, also called embalse, to regulate water in Cundinamarca. In the surroundings of this lake you can do great hiking or relax in one of the waterfront hotels. Or visit cute villages. We drove up a dirt road to arrive 5 kilometers later at a small hut where the guide was waiting for us.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
