Andres was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous throughout the entire trip. Our long drive to the Sumpaz paramos went by quickly with our back and forth conversation. Andres speaks better English than I do! haha the started the hike at a very friendly farmers home with arepas and a hot drink. Then we began to hike up into the Sumapaz. Now I am out of shape due to the lockdown, but would hike often before the pandemic. This was a very difficult hike but not because of the terrain but due to altitude. Andres was very patient, but I promise you once you reach the view where you see the wetlands and lakes, it will all be worth it. I can't wait to visit as many paramos as I can during future visits. Any paramo in the Bogota region, I will only use the Andes Ecotour tour company. A few tips: wear hiking shoes, bring a raincoat the weather can change suddenly throughout the day, bring a hat that can protect your face and neck. You are about 13,000 ft above sea level, the sun is very strong at that level so be sure to protect yourself. Also, bring water!
