SOUNDBITE (Spanish) PAOLA BUSTOS, ADMINISTRATOR OF EL HAYAL ECOPARK, SAYING "The main tour of El Hayal includes a first part that is more about the mountain and what constitutes the essence of El Hayal. First is the Muisca cave that was a settlement many years ago, and then we do a rescue of the culture and of what has been the impact of that culture for us here in Santa Sofía de Boyacá. We continue the tour to reach the waterfall that was sacred to the Muiscas. Here we also make a recognition about nature, about the impact it has and that it had for the Muiscas and that it had for the settlers who came a little later, until today when we are already taking care of this secondary forest. Finally we go behind the waterfall to see the Lion King stone, which has the same shape as the one in the movie, where we take a commemorative photograph with the entire valley background." 9.

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) BUSTOS SAYING: "In the middle of a lot of nature, very sheltered, a little more humid, with a little more shade that connects us to the Tibetan bridge. This Tibetan bridge is 162 meters long and is designed so that the experience each visitor has is what it feels like to walk above a forest that is breathing with the breeze and how that experience feels of seeing the treetops below and the stream. And finally, the Tibetan bridge connects us to the stairway to heaven which is currently the longest in Colombia, and we think it's probably the longest in the world. It's designed so that visitors have the experience of our eagles. So, when our eagles are flying free in the sky, they can enjoy the entire valley, the forest, the river, the stream, the waterfall, the caves from an impressive height, and we wanted to give that experience to people through the stairway to heaven." 19.

They were a Cundiboyacense tribe that was here as such throughout this entire area.

THE WALLS OF ONE OF THE CAVES OF THE ECOPARK. 37. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) BUSTOS SAYING: "Safety is the number one criterion in the development of our parks because we have the responsibility of height elements and, of course, it's what requires us to do so. So, on one hand there's the preparation of the staff and the training they have from the technical part and from the complementary skills. And on the other hand there's the development. In development we have continuous lifelines and pelvic harnesses that make the entire experience completely safe. That is to say, there is no possibility that a client, a visitor, could suffer a fall into the void, but will always be secured 100% through the system." 38.

SEVERAL PEOPLE FINISHING THE TOUR OF THE ASCENDING ELEVATED BRIDGESANTA SOFIA, COLOMBIA - SEPT. 14, 2025: El Hayal Ecopark is a tourist destination where visitors can experience a state of contemplation, exploring trails and cave formations that were most likely frequented by the Muisca communities that inhabited this region. The experience is enriched by crossing two elevated bridges: the first is a Tibetan bridge 162 meters long, and the second is a tubular bridge with a 234-meter ascending route. Both structures are suspended above the treetops, providing panoramic views of the region that allow visitors to appreciate the Boyacá landscape. The promoters and administrators pay special attention to comprehensive security measures, which are evident both in the use of safety equipment and in the training of the work team that operates in the different areas of the park.
