Glamping El Nodo

Tours, hikes or bike rides in the surroundings might introduce you to some of the local wildlife, but if you'd like to be sure of spotting something, you’ll need to make a visit to Bioparque La Reserva to see colourful birds (some of which are endangered) or Faunaticos, a child-friendly park with mini safaris and petting areas. Both are about half an hour's drive away. Other options for family days out include Parque Monarca (20 minutes' drive), to meet butterflies, insects and carnivorous plants, or Carmen De Los Juncales Ecological Park (half an hour), which has swings and treehouses alongside its scenic nature trails. Meanwhile, for a laidback hour or two you might like to soak in the hot pools at Termales El Zipa (25 minutes). It's possible that you’ve come along here to escape the city – but if not, then you should certainly take a day out in Bogotá (45 minutes). The Gold Museum and Botero Museum are a couple of the top picks, and you should also take a stroll through the colourful streets of the Candelaria district and head up Monserrate for some spectacular views over the city.
