Las Moyas: The Trail Where Bogotá Breathes Among Mountains, History, and Wellness

This is how the experience begins at Las Moyas, one of those places that reveals a different way to live in Bogotá.

Located in the Eastern Hills, just minutes from the urban area at Transversal 2 Este #78-93, Rosales (Chapinero), this trail serves as a gateway to a mountain ecosystem that directly connects to one of the country's greatest natural treasures: the: Sumapaz Paramo, the largest in the world. Here, the city transforms into living nature.

A Challenging Yet Deeply Rewarding Journey

The Las Moyas trail is no ordinary walk. It is a journey of approximately 3.5 kilometers (one way) that demands physical effort, especially during the uphill sections. However, every step is worth it.

Along the way, you will find key spots to stop, breathe, and recharge. Before reaching the first viewpoints, there are spaces where you can take a break, hydrate, have a light snack, or simply prepare to continue the journey. It is a necessary pause that is also an essential part of the experience.

Las Moyas is more than just a trail; it is a territory rich with meaning. Its rock formations, which give the place its name, were considered sacred by the Muisca people, who saw this space as a point of connection between the earth and the universe.

Today, that connection remains alive. Along the trail, you can encounter the unique biodiversity of the High Andean forest, breathe in the fresh air, and feel your body adapt to the rhythm of the mountain.

This is why, beyond hiking, this place has become an ideal setting for wellness tourism. Here, you can practice yoga, meditate, take mindful breaks, or just disconnect from the city's pace to reconnect with yourself.
