Parque Regional La Florida

FreeLeashed only

A 267-hectare regional park on the western edge of the city, with native forest, a birding lake, barbecue pits and a camping zone. It is the closest Bogotá gets to a country park you can bring the dog to.

Why it made the list

One of the few IDRD parks whose published rules spell out exactly what a dog needs to get in.

Good to know before you go

IDRD allows companion animals only with vaccination card, muzzle, leash, and a bag and shovel for waste, so bring all four. Entry is free and hours are 6:00–18:00. It sits outside the urban ring on the Autopista Medellín, which makes it a taxi or car trip rather than a neighbourhood walk.

Practical notes

  • Pack the vaccination card, it is an explicit entry condition
  • The lake loop is the shaded option on hot mornings

What is available on site

  • Water bowls
  • Shaded seating
  • Step-free access
