This ancient place was one of the sacred lakes of the Indian Tribe of the Muiscas, since there the ritual of investiture of the new Zipa (Cacique) was performed; according to tradition, it was on a raft richly ornamented reeds; her body was covered entirely with gold dust; at his feet put a big pile of gold and emeralds to that offered to the gods and braziers to burn a kind of incense called moque, the people that was in the banks threw objects of gold and precious stones waters.

Caminata Chicaque.
This hike will take place in an ancient path used by Indians Panches and Muiscas to connect the savannah of Bogota (Minga land) with the Magdalena Valley. Iberian colonists widened the path for the passage of horses and mules, Built entirely of stone steps polished by the passage of dozens of generations over hundreds of years, the colonial path maintains a centenary air and is part of the Andean cloudy forest. Walk on it is going back into the distant and quite past.
Path is fragmented in two parts and the upper communicates with the Lower of Chicaque, begins near the entrance of the park where the steps end of the main viewpoint, and ends near ravine “La playa”, just 500 meters from the Refuge. It is the shortest path between the entrance and the Refuge.
Paraglinding.

Lift up your eyes to the sky; wait for adequate air flow to be carried away by the sense of freedom and lightness feeling to flying.
Plan as an Andean condor feeling and listening to the air force in height, listening to your heart beat very strong, feeling all those indescribable emotions that run through your body.
