The present article seeks to analyze the access to environmental justice in the case of the Páramo de Pisba, in Boyacá, with special emphasis on the development and materialization of the so-called procedural justice. In order to comply with the above, firstly, the conceptualization and evolution of environmental justice is approached from a historical framework; secondly, the procedural aspect of environmental justice is analyzed as a relevant element to guarantee the effective participation of social actors; thirdly, a description and characterization of the ecosystem of Páramo de Pisba is made in order to finally study the relevant constitutional judicial actions, in the light of the notion of environmental procedural justice. The relevance of procedural justice and access to judicial mechanisms as tools that shape the protection of páramo ecosystems and guarantee the effective participation of the different actors is concluded.

Keywords : environmental justice; Páramo de Pisba; citizen participation; procedural environmental justice; constitutional actions.
