Páramo de Guacheneque, High-altitude wetland ecosystem in Villapinzón, Colombia.
Located at an elevation of 3300 meters, Páramo de Guacheneque contains specialized vegetation adapted to extreme temperatures and functions as a natural water reservoir point.
The area marks the source of the Bogotá River, which spans 380 kilometers and has supported regional development throughout Colombian history.
Local communities maintain traditional agricultural practices while acknowledging the importance of preserving the water resources that originate from this ecosystem.
The hiking trail extends for 6 kilometers through varying terrain and requires warm, waterproof clothing due to rapid weather changes at high altitudes.
The páramo functions as a natural sponge, collecting water during wet seasons and releasing it gradually to maintain consistent flow in the Bogotá River.
