Hiking
Cerro de la Cruz, located in the mountains surrounding Bogotá, is a place of pilgrimage and spiritual reflection. At the end of the 19th century, Dominican friars climbed here to meditate on their religious commitment, and today various faith traditions are still commemorated on the mountain. From its 3,129 meters of altitude, one can enjoy sweeping views of the capital and the Andean landscape.
To access the trail, it is necessary to make a prior reservation on the Bogotá Aqueducts website caminos.eaab.gov.co, selecting Trails > Quebrada La Vieja > Book here > Quebrada La Vieja - Alto de la Cruz.
