Horseback ride on the way back up the mountain. We opted to do this despite the small extra fee, it was the perfect ending to an amazing day. The forest is gorgeous with all the fog and flora and fauna. David’s (our tour guide) background in biology gave us a unique perspective on learning all about the forest. Highly recommend him and the horses!!!

We are both novice hikers and not serious bird watchers. All we really wanted was time in the Andean forests, and that is what we got! The scenery was gorgeous and the views were breathtaking. And, that's not just the altitude talking!. Our guide, David, was not only knowledgeable about birds, but he was able to identify and educate us about the plants, insects, and animals we saw. We were unlucky with birds, but that could be because of the time of day. The only tip I would suggest is to be sure to bring hiking shoes/boots and not sneakers. At Chicaque, be prepared to start at the top and climb your way down via rocky trails. Some folkx opted to walk up the road, but we highly recommend taking the offered ride back up. We loved the day!
