Humedal de Guaymaral y Torca

The wetland spans 73 hectares divided into three sections by the Northern Highway, featuring diverse aquatic vegetation and native trees such as alder.

In 1952, the construction of the Northern Highway split the original wetland into three distinct sections: Guaymaral, Torca, and a highway median strip.

The Torca Guaymaral Wetland Foundation engages with local communities, schools, universities, and businesses to protect and restore the natural ecosystem.

Visitors can schedule guided tours through the Bogotá Wetlands Foundation by contacting their information line at 3115009192 or 3144074889.

The Torca microcusin stands out in the Bogotá savanna as the only water system where waters flow in a south-to-north direction.
