Overview

Visit a recovered Nature Reserve just next to the Park on this 3-4 hour aprox low-medium difficulty hike will be accompanied by one of the local guides who knows the area best, which means that plants and trails that only appear to be beautiful, seen through the eyes of ancestral knowledge become miraculous plants and trails enchanted by the wisdom of the indigenous people.
The route may vary depending on people on the path, Tunjos trail or the path of the Andean Bear. All are stunning.
