Updated on 03/13/2024

Dear reader,
I would also like to recommend our Colombia travel guide, which provides a perfect overview of the tourist attractions in Colombia. Enjoy reading it!

Why Colombia is a country rich in waterfalls

Colombia is a country blessed with natural beauty and diversity, and one of its most impressive features are its waterfalls. Colombia has hundreds of waterfalls of different shapes, sizes and heights, scattered across its varied landscapes. Some of them are hidden in the depths of the jungle, while others are easily accessible from nearby towns. Some of them are famous for their height, power or history, while others are still waiting to be discovered by adventurous travelers.

Here are some reasons why Colombia is a country rich in waterfalls and what benefits it has to visit them:

  • Colombia has a complex geography that includes the Andes mountains, the Amazon rainforest, the Orinoco plains and the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. These regions have different climates, ecosystems and hydrological systems that create favorable conditions for waterfalls to form.
  • Colombia has many rivers that originate in the highlands and flow down to the lowlands, creating spectacular drops along the way. Some of these rivers are the Magdalena, the Cauca, the Putumayo, the Caquetá and the Meta.
  • Colombia has a high biodiversity that makes its waterfalls more than just scenic attractions. They are also habitats for many plants and animals, some of them endemic or endangered. Visiting waterfalls can be an opportunity to appreciate and learn about Colombia’s natural wealth.
  • Colombia has a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in its waterfalls. Many of them have legends, myths or stories associated with them, often related to the indigenous peoples that inhabited the area. Some of them also have historical or archaeological significance, such as the Tequendama Falls or the San Agustín Archaeological Park.

Waterfalls in Cundinamarca

Salto del Tequendama

About 23.5 miles (38 km) from Bogotá is what once was one of the greatest symbols of Cundinamarca: the Salto del Tequendama waterfall. This waterfall is the mouth of the Bogotá River, a body of water that is unfortunately heavily polluted, so it is not possible to bathe there. There is a misty landscape near the waterfall.

Why visit El Salto del Tequendama?

The Salto del Tequendama is not just a natural wonder, it has always been surrounded by myths and stories. First of all, the Muiscas, an indigenous culture that inhabited Colombian territory since pre-Hispanic times (before the arrival of the Spaniards in America), had a myth that explained the origins of this place.

The Muiscas said that Bochica, a deity of this culture, approached the hills one day with a golden staff and touched the rocks. This caused the rocks to split and water to appear, creating the Salto del Tequendama waterfall.

In 1923 the construction of a hotel began, which was to become one of the most famous places in the entire department as the “Hotel del Salto del Tequendama”. This property closed in the middle of the 20th century, but rumors kept popping up.

It is said that the hotel had some sort of haunted place that led broken-hearted people to commit suicide. That is why this old hotel and the waterfall were soon considered to be one of the most haunted places in Latin America. You can find more about these stories on my blog about the scariest places in Colombia.

Nowadays the old hotel is a museum where you can see old photos of the waterfall and tell historical facts about the place.

Recommendations and curiosities

  • Due to the pollution of the Bogotá River, the Salto del Tequendama usually has a rather unpleasant smell.
