FAQs: Hiking in Colombia

What should I know about Hiking Colombia?

Colombia is a near-perfect hiking destination, as not only is there an insane variety in landscape, scenery and terrain, but the weather is consistently mild, making the hiking a truly enjoyable experience.

Our tour was great and Alex is an awesome, well prepared and experienced guide. He told us a lot of interesting information not just about national park and its flora but also about Colombia culture, history and etc. My wife and I can definitely recommend him and the tour itself.

We did the Nevado Santa Isabel trip in Los Nevados (not listed specifically on exploreshare, but we asked if we could do it). It was really spectacular and the service was great.

Alex is attentive to details and adjust route and speed to your conditions. If I go to mountains in Colombia again, it would be with Alex. Thanks for such amazing trip.
