This colonial village founded at the beginning of the 17th century is only disturbed by the few cars driving through the cobbled, centuries-old streets. Travellers stopping in Mongui, which is a destination far from the beaten track of Colombian tourism, take the opportunity to visit the famous paramo of Oceta, the main tourist attraction of the village.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2071&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Paramo de Oceta, between nature and legends<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Plants that require strict climatic conditions are growing all across this astonishing natural environment. Indeed, the paramo is an ecosystem developing in areas located at altitudes higher than 3,000 meters, near the equatorial line. Colombia is therefore one of the few privileged countries hosting this type of landscapes. Iconic plant of the paramo, the Frailejon can be more than 3 meters high. A 6 to 8-hour hike, up to 4,000 meters of altitude is necessary to discover this surprising scenery.<\/p>\n<p>This paramo is also home to legends and tales of the Muisca, the ancestral ethnic group populating the eastern cordillera. First and foremost, the Caja del Rey, a geological formation with a particular history. There is also the Muisca Cemetery, a place of great importance in the traditions and culture of this pre-Columbian civilization.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;14&#8243; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div id=\"post-component-6a45111\" class=\"blog-post-component blog-post-component-text\" data-blog-component=\"text\">\n<div class=\"inner-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-blog-inner=\"text\"><strong>If you are interested in a stay in Mongui and the paramo of Oceta, or in any other region of Colombia<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/capoa-tours.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  medium center default\" style=\"\">Contact us<\/a>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the department of Boyaca, a little more than 3 hours from the capital, there is a small, picturesque village named Mongui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2489,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-classifiee"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
