Las Moyas Guided Hike from Bogotá

Las Moyas is the hike Bogotanos do on a Saturday morning. Six kilometres of trail on the eastern hills, topping out near 3,300 metres, with the whole savanna opening up behind you as you climb. It is moderate rather than punishing, and it ends with the option of coffee and a pastry.

How the day works

• You meet your guide at the trailhead. We send a photo of the exact meeting point in advance and stay reachable on WhatsApp, because this one starts at the trail rather than at your hotel.
• Safety briefing, then you set off.
• Six kilometres of walking with regular stops, climbing to a high point near 3,300 metres. No scrambling and nothing technical.
• Optional coffee and pastry stop afterwards if the group wants it.
• Three to four hours in total.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to the meeting point?

That one is on you for this tour, and it is the main difference from our other hikes. We send a photo of the exact spot and stay on WhatsApp so you arrive at the right place. If you would rather be collected from your hotel, ask us about adding transport.

How hard is it, honestly?

Moderate. Six kilometres with a steady climb, regular stops and no scrambling. The altitude is the difficulty rather than the terrain.

Do I need hiking boots?

Closed-toe hiking shoes are required. The trail gets muddy and trainers with worn soles will not be enough.

Can I bring my dog?

No, pets are not permitted on the trail.

What is the coffee stop?

An optional add-on after the walk, coffee and a pastry near the trailhead. Say yes on the day if you want it.
