Walk through the old Guambita lagoon or Martos Reservoir

We will leave early in the morning to head towards the municipality of Guasca-Cundinamarca where our local guide will be waiting for us to take us to the beginning of the walk.

We will go through landscapes full of water, fog, some cold but contemplating the fauna and flora of the moor that is housed in the place.

We will have the possibility of seeing many birds native to these ecosystems, although some migratory ones as well, and from time to time we will have the possibility of observing the wonderful spectacled bear.
