Frequently Asked Questions
Good to know
Group shuttle vs private Chingaza tour
Why book a private Chingaza National Park tour instead of a group shuttle
Chingaza is a strictly regulated national park with daily visitor caps and a required local nature guide — group shuttles squeeze 15+ strangers into a van, skip hotel pickup and follow a single fixed route. Our private Chingaza tour handles the park permit, picks you up at your hotel in a 4×4 vehicle ideal for páramo terrain, and adapts the hike and pace to your fitness and the day's weather — 9 to 10 hours, fully your own.
