Parque Nacional Natural El Cocuy

Welcome to what I hope is the last place you'll have to go to in your search for information about Parque Nacional Natural El Cocuy in Colombia, South America.

Also known as Sierra Nevada del Cocuy or Cocuy National Park, PNN El Cocuy is an amazing place which you should really take some time to visit while in Colombia. One of the best kept hiking/trekking secrets in the world, as National Geographic puts it, PNN El Cocuy is:

“a haven for mountaineers and rock climbers, with glaciated peaks over 17,000 feet and tons of rarely explored alpine terrain.”

Not a mountaineer or rock climber? No worries, neither am I or most of the rest of the visitors to the park; you don't need special equipment or special skills to go hiking here. Whether you're looking for some of the most beautiful day hikes in the world, a famed 6 day remote-camping trek, or just wanting to get out and see an untouched slice of the real Colombia, PNN El Cocuy is the place to go.

The park is close to both Bucaramanga and Bogota:

About This Website

I decided to put this website together after trying to plan a visit to the park; I had a terrible time finding answers to even my most basic questions. Hopefully this will help you in your search. Finally, I'd really, really appreciate it if you'd visit the About page and after your visit, send me some pics or updated information about the park; you'll help make this website even more useful for future travelers, which is the whole point.
