Ocetá Páramo

The Ocetá Páramo spans 57 square kilometers across the Eastern Colombian Andes, featuring extensive fields of frailejones plants and stone formations at elevations reaching 3,950 meters.

The Muisca people established sacred sites within the páramo, including the Tortolitas pools where their women traditionally gave birth before Spanish colonization.

Local communities maintain strong connections to the páramo through traditional agricultural practices and water management systems that support downstream populations.

Visitors need to arrange guided tours from Monguí, wear multiple layers of clothing, and carry water supplies for the challenging 3-hour hike through varying weather conditions.

The Ciudad de Piedra section contains natural stone corridors with walls reaching 15 meters in height, covered in patterns of moss and lichens.
