# Quebrada La Vieja

Cloud-forest hike · Chapinero Alto & Zona G, Bogotá, Colombia · 4.650129, -74.048557

> My wife's and my favourite hike — we regularly go twice a week. Important: you can only get in in the morning, with a reservation that you make through the Bogotá water company's site. Once you're in, there are three different paths from the main intersection, and the Alto de la Cruz route, if it's open, is stunning — my favourite regular hike in Bogotá. It's closed on Mondays — and on the Tuesday, if Monday was a bank holiday. My favourite days are Wednesday and Thursday: fewer people, and the La Virgen and Alto de la Cruz routes are open. If you don't want to sign up ahead, you can pay an entry fee to do Las Moyas instead: a different hike, open to anybody with no reservation, also stunning, but challenging.
