Suesca.............................................................................................

Suesca is an amazing town to visit if you enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking,
hiking and nature. It is only a little over an hour away from Bogotá, by bus. There
is a small area of restaurants and adventure operators that allows the visitor to
waste little time getting to their favorite activity. There is a very comfortable
hostel that is a five minute walk away from all the action. Suesca has over 400
routes for climbers that are suitable for beginners to veterans. Mountain bikes
are available for rent with or without guides. Suesca could easily be one of your
favorite Colombian memories.

To get to Suesca you need to take a bus. Take the Transmilenio (1,700 COP) or a
taxi (12,000-18,000 COP) to the Portal del Norte. From the Portal del Norte take
a mini-bus to Suesca (5,500 COP). Make sure you get off at the rock climbing
shop stop which is right before the town. Around the corner from the shop is a
restaurant called Vamonos P'al Monte. The owners or staff of the restaurant will
direct you to the Hostal el Vivac which is a five minute walk away. You can get a
bed in a dorm for 25,000 COP. (www.elvivachostal.com)

There is a campsite with a restaurant right next to the rocks. You need your own
tent to camp here.
