Unforgettable Adventure - We recently went on Impulse Travel's hike to La Chorrera waterfall, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, and the views were breathtaking. The waterfall itself was a majestic sight, surrounded by lush greenery that added to the overall beauty of the surroundings. I highly recommend this excursion for nature enthusiasts and anyone seeking a memorable adventure.

Emilio, our guide on the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area and everything related to Colombia. It was a very memorable hike to a really beautiful place

Amazing hike! - The hike was spectacular. The guide was knowledgeable and was patient with my 13-year old daughter, as far as his pace.
Beautiful view. Great lunch. Worth the 5 miles, round trip, hike!

Beautiful waterfall hike - We enjoyed our tour very much. The weather was foggy for the first bit but thankfully it cleared up a bit to be able to see the wide view, which was beautiful. The guide and the driver were both professional and we appreciated their help in helping us have a good experience!

Great hike! - The road trip to the park is memorable in itself, allowing for dramatic overviews of the city and mountains. When we arrived it was foggy creating a dramatic atmosphere. The initial assent is very steep but it becomes easier later. The hike crosses pastures and the waterfall appears in the distance. The waterfall is quite tall and there is a good spot to get a photo of oneself at it. Impulse Travel (and our guide Doriel) did a great job picking us up on time and giving us plenty of time to explore at our own pace. We got back to our hotel in time to rest and get ready for dinner. Highly recommend. I suggest practicing hiking in elevation and/or climbing stairs in preparation for this hike given that sections are quite steep and the air is relatively thin given the elevation.

Good but very expensive - I enjoyed the trip but it had some downsides
The driver and guide were excellent, the walk itself interesting, well signposted , had beautiful scenery and was well worth a trip
However, there was a cycle race on the day in Bogotá, which meant the road there was closed to traffic, consequently the drive to the park took two hours longer than planned and was along a very bumpy detour
We were charged the equivalent of £240 for the trip , an expensive fee which I cannot see as justified given the service provided
