description Colombia is no exception to the global trend of creation and extension of protected areas, which is illustrated by the process of delimitation and protection of the páramos -a characteristic ecosystem of the northern Andes-. The inclusion of local communities in this delimitation is becoming increasingly important in political and scientific debates. This article aims to provide elements to understand the relationship of communities with the páramos and their role in the protection of these ecosystems. This work focuses on alternative systems of water services provision in the páramos of Bogotá, the country's capital. Through a case study, this work shows that some of these systems are community-based, environmentally compatible and sustainable in the long term. The recognition of these systems as protectors of the paramos and providers of water services is a necessary step in protecting the environment and managing the country's natural resources.
