We can take all the photos you want along the way so you don't miss the opportunity to immortalize this beautiful region characterized by its green areas.

First we will visit El Salto del Tequendama, it is a natural waterfall in Colombia, located in the municipality of Soacha in the Department of Cundinamarca. It is located approximately 30 km southwest of Bogotá, its approximate height is 185 meters.

According to a Muisca myth, a civilizing hero was formed by divine action from Bochica, who taught the Muiscas to spin cotton and weave blankets, in addition to instilling in them moral and social principles, according to the mythical tradition affirms that he created the Tequendama Falls with a accurate blow of his staff to evacuate the waters that flooded the savannah of Bogotá.

After traveling more than 100 km through the Cundiboyacense plateau and the Bogotá savannah, the Bogotá River falls from approximately 185 meters over a circular rocky abyss forming the waterfall, which is located in a forested region of permanent mist. Approximately until the middle of the 20th century there were flora and fauna under the waterfall. However, today they have been lost due to the contamination of the river.

In 1895, the El Charquito hydroelectric plant was inaugurated, which uses the water from the Bogotá River before the waterfall. In 1928 the Hotel del Salto opens its doors, a luxurious lodging with a viewpoint towards the waterfall. In 1940, work began on the Muña reservoir, which dams the waters of the Bogotá River in the municipality of Sibaté. With the great and disorderly growth of the capital, the river and its tributaries were chronically polluted.

Then we will continue our trip to the city of Fusagasugá to visit the most beautiful coffee farm near Bogotá: the Coloma farm, which awaits us with its beautiful gardens and coffee plantations. The tour begins in the coffee seedbed, where the chapola is sown and cultivated. Next, you will pass through a coffee plantation with shade-grown Arabica coffee flowers, where you will see many of the varieties available in Colombia. From there, it is transferred to the Beneficiadero, one of the most important and traditional places in the Colombian coffee process, where each coffee bean is washed, pulped, dried and harvested by hand. The journey continues in the Thresher and from there it advances to a final critical step in its quality: coffee roasting, a slow and traditional process that gives the coffee its characteristic color and imprints the final quality of the aroma and flavor of the coffee, which He already made a drink, you can try it at the end of the route.
