Very interesting experience. Nature was amazing. High altitude made me sleepy after the tour. We did not see any bears only bear poop. ????

Incredible tour, one of our favorite days in Colombia. Guides Alejandro and Ana Maria were so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of the place. The hike was alot of fun and the views were unforgettable, highly recommend this tour. Be prepared to get muddy but totally worth it.

A very expensive trip with very little to see. It's not really a hike but more of a walk along a road. You can't go without a guide, unfortunately, and our guide was not helpful. Please save your money. It's not worth it at all.
