What you can expect

  • An atmosphere of mist and life Just an hour from Villa de Leyva, the landscape transforms. The air becomes purer, and the silence is broken only by the dripping of water. We invite you on a journey of reconnection in the Páramo de Rabanal, a sacred ecosystem that acts as the water heart of Boyacá. Here, you are not just a spectator; you become an ally of the territory.

    The path of the sentinels Your journey begins in the company of Luis or Andrea, local leaders whose lives are intertwined with the defence of this sanctuary. Together with our trilingual team, you'll venture along ancient trails where the high Andean forest reveals its secrets: wild orchids, tree ferns, and mosses that retain the moisture of the earth. As we ascend, the vegetation becomes stunted, giving way to the real stars: the Frailejones (Espeletia spp.). These ancient plants, which grow just one centimetre per year, will surround you in the imposing Valle de los Frailejones, creating a scene that seems frozen in time.

    Landmarks of the territory We'll explore vantage points steeped in history and mysticism, such as the Piedra de las Gualas and the Mirador de los Enamorados, from where the view is lost in the immensity of the Andean mountains. You will learn about the medicinal plants that local communities have used for centuries and the vital importance of the hidden lagoons that feed the entire region.

    Your legacy: “Roots of Life” Programme The highlight of the experience is the opportunity to give something back to the land. As part of our philosophy of regenerative tourism, you'll participate in a day of planting a native tree. You'll leave a living mark on the paramo, directly contributing to the restoration of this fragile ecosystem. It's an act of mutual gratitude: the moor gives you its peace and you give it life back.

    Encounter Details:

    Route: 8 km (adaptable to your pace).
    Duration of the hike: 4 to 5 hours of hiking and deep relaxation.
    Altitude: From 2,946 to 3,300 metres above sea level.

    Join us to walk above the clouds and protect the Fountain of Life.
