Neusa Reservoir Natural Park, Colombia

Nuestro recorrido

Today we enter the Laurels sector since we visit only during the day. the road inside is uncovered and has an area of almost 7 kilometers, so it is advisable to go in a private vehicle, it is a great distance to walk. During this tour you will find 7 accesses to enter the round of the lake, the bathrooms are in the entrance 5 and the restaurant in the 6.

You can go in many plans, it is a place that adapts to your tastes, for example you can take your food and charcoal to make a traditional barbecue or you can go walking and enjoy the vegetation, then lunch at the laurels restaurant whose specialty is the trout (highly recommended) although they take a little time to prepare (up to 40 minutes, depending on the day and the number of people) or you can also go by bicycle and go around the reservoir on a path specially designed for this, always surrounded by exuberant vegetation.

Accesses 1 and 2 are preferred by walkers as they are closest to the entrance, about 2 km from the ticket office, also previously preferred by fishermen as they are closer to the wall and there is more depth in the water . If you visit the entrances 4 and 5 you will find a pine forest that is excellent for walking besides the bathrooms, the entrance 6 is the restaurant. The 7 is preferred by many people for its extension and mainly for camping since it has a large flat stretch and covered by a green and soft meadow.

Weather

The weather is quite cold, on average 10 ° c, mostly remains cloudy so it is essential to go very well warm, but even more if you are going to spend the night, on one previous occasion we stayed one night and we recommend bringing thermal or very good blankets Sleeping bags, the clear nights are a wonder for the amount of stars that you will see but you can also lower the temperature to 5 ° C and the thermal sensation is even lower due to the winds that run on the water.

Another recommendation is to be careful when the reservoir is low as it leaves a swampy area that may seem firm but when walking on it you will sink and you will be trapped in the mud, in many places they have arranged rudimentary signals to demarcate the danger, as a result of this In many places you will not be able to reach the water but about 3 meters back.
