Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Hotel Alicante, given its proximity to the Altiplano Cundiboyacense?

While Hotel Alicante isn't a traditional safari lodge, its location offers unique opportunities. We've spotted Andean condors soaring overhead and have heard tales of spectacled bears in the higher reaches. Expect more birdlife and smaller mammals than large game, making it ideal for patient observers.

We're planning a trip in July. Is this a good time to visit Hotel Alicante and explore the páramo?

July falls within the dry season for the Altiplano Cundiboyacense, which we find is the best time for visiting. The trails are generally more accessible, and the skies are often clearer, offering those sensational sunsets we love. Just be prepared for cool temperatures, even during the day.

What are the 'activities' at Hotel Alicante? We're looking for more than just a place to sleep.

Hotel Alicante offers a comfortable base for exploring the unique páramo ecosystem. We recommend guided hikes into the Altiplano Cundiboyacense, where you can learn about the incredible flora and fauna from local guides. The lodge itself provides a cozy retreat after a day of exploration, with lovely common areas to relax in.

Can you give us an idea of the costs associated with a stay at Hotel Alicante and any nearby excursions?

Hotel Alicante offers good value for its comfortable accommodations. While we found the room rates reasonable, we suggest budgeting extra for guided tours into the páramo, which are well worth the expense for the insights they provide. Pack some cash for local crafts and snacks you might pick up along the way.

How safe is it to explore the Altiplano Cundiboyacense from Hotel Alicante, and what should we be aware of?

We felt very secure during our visits, especially when sticking to marked trails and going with local guides. The primary safety concern is the altitude and unpredictable páramo weather; always dress in layers and stay hydrated. The lodge staff are knowledgeable and can advise on the best routes and conditions.
