The Eastern Cerros frame the city in green and on them are unique places to enjoy contact with vegetation and fauna. The Enrenubes Mountain District Ecological Park is a biodiversity paradise. Located to the south east of Bogotá, it is part of the towns of San Cristóbal, Usme and Rafael Uribe Uribe.
It is made up of three imposing hills: Juan Rey, Guacamayas and Cuchilla del Gavilánpart of the eastern edge of the Andes. It has an extension of 626 hectares and a perimeter of 30 kilometers.
Thanks to its location, it has ecosystems such as the Altoandino forest and the submoor in which life simply occurs. There a height is reached between the 2,600 and 3,100 metres high, ideal for moss, ferns, orchids and a forest layer to spread over each side.
In the park there are important tributaries of water that flow the river Tunjuelo like the crunches Chiguaza, Verjones, Yomosa, Seca and Bologna. It is also a privileged place for the sighting of forest birds. There you can appreciate species of a unique beauty like the Cotinga Crestirroja (Ampelion rubrocristatus) and the Andean Arrendajo (Amblycercus holosericeus).
In addition, from the park you can get an impeccable postcard from Bogotá. It has a lookout, the height of which is equivalent to that of the Monserrate hill (3,152 meters high), where you will get a 360 degree view of a city that binds the rural and the urban in a unique way.
It is an ideal space for sport, meditation and the encounter with nature. There you will find guided tours, environmental workshops, recreation activities and ecological walks.
