Absolutely Stunning Hike with an Amazing Guide!
Had an absolutely amazing experience! The hike itself was stunning, apparently we got quite lucky with weather and were able to have a clear view of the falls for much of the journey. It wasn't too tough, and the altitude was less of a problem than expected. Absolutely beautiful!! Went with Lifred, and he was an absolutely amazing guide. He did an amazing job of telling us everything there was to know. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. He was even kind enough to stop on the way back so we could get a view of the Paramo! The food was also great, both breakfast and lunch, and again Lifred's recommendations came very much in handy. Overall an amazing experience that you can't miss!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌿💦 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed La Chorrera and were able to experience the waterfalls under such beautiful conditions. We're especially happy that Lifred helped make the day so memorable with his knowledge, recommendations, and extra stops along the way. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Colombia again soon! 🇨🇴✨

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $126 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.
Is Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 318 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike?
+
Around 111 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colombia’s Tallest Waterfalls: La Chorrera Hike start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bogotá?
+
On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bogotá?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bogotá?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
