Journeys and Expeditions
In this high mountain journey, re-connection and meditation are the main subjects, while you are immersed in a sacred indigenous place.
Cota, in Chibcha means "shaggy", "curled", "farmland". It is believed that the name of Cota, is derived from its chief named Quota. Cota is surrounded by various mountains and hills, these are lower than the hills that surround the capital of the country. The highest hill, Majuy, is a beautiful mountain range, which is home to a part of the Muisca indigenous community.
What will you find?
The Majuy is located in the municipality of Cota Cundinamarca. In the Muisca language "Majuy" means INSIDE YOU, it is one of those magical places that can only be found by those who seek them from the heart. This is a route that requires moderate physical effort where you can enjoy beautiful flora and abundant fauna, especially insects.
