Varied hiking trip between Andes, coastal rainforest and colonial flair.

The all-terrain vehicle rumbles along the gravel road, before us opens up an enchanting panorama of the Sugar Loaf and the Devil’s Pulpit. Behind us a dense cloud of dust. Full of anticipation we reach the starting point of our upcoming hike. We lace up our mountain boots again and hike along the babbling mountain stream and past the impressive Frailejones, the Colombian national flower, into the El Cocuy National Park.

Colombia’s culture and vibrant history in picturesque form

Have you always wanted to take a trip through time? Then you are exactly right here. Stroll through the streets of Villa de Leyva, Barichara and Cartagena, which seem to have fallen out of time. Whitewashed facades, terracotta-colored roof tiles and a horse and cart on the cobblestones: the perfect scenery.

Trekking from El Cocuy National Park to the lost city in the coastal rainforest

Countless adventurers went in search of the legendary Eldorado. You too follow the trail and hike along the mythical Laguna Guatavita. With a detour to the El Cocuy National Park, you follow the call of sharp-edged rock giants, deep blue mountain lakes and dreamlike valleys to the trekking Mecca of the country. The contrast to the barren mountain world is offered by the extraordinary trekking to Ciudad Perdida, which was only discovered in 1975. Join us on a hiking tour in Colombia that will captivate your senses.

Clothing must provide the right degree of temperature, perspiration and be well ventilated. Preferably cotton clothing should be avoided, as in humid conditions they absorb body heat.

About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066

We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.

Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.

In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
