Everything Else
It's a ton of fun to just drive the quick last stretch when arriving to Melgar from the capital Bogotá. The one-way, two-lane road goes down the mountain highway, delving into the river valley surrounded by steep mountain hills, passing the natural rock formation "Devil's Nose" (Nariz del Diablo) before arriving to the town of Melgar. Try to make it during daylight to not miss this!

Sightseeing
About a 40 minutes taxi drive from Puromäki, driving past Icononzo is the magnificent natural bridge of Pandi. Looking down the gorge below, you can see the Rio Sumapaz that forms also the natural boundary between the departments of Cundinamarca and Tolima.
For example, taxi driver Jaime Torres (Cel: 320 290 6939 or 312 586 3444) can organize a half day trip here. For extra emotion, listen to the song “Cambulos y Gualandayes” by Silva y Villalba on your way.
