**I invite you to a 5-day trip in Los Nevados National Park. We’ll enjoy an exciting trek starting from Ibague to Salento, and we’ll reach the summit of Nevado del Tolima at 5200 m.** 

**Los Nevados National Park** is located in the Central Range of Colombia. In fact, its main route crosses the Colombian coffee region.

From **Bogota**, the distance to **Ibague** and **Palomar** (where we’ll start our adventure) is about 7 to 8 hours. However, the topography and its complex highways make it difficult to measure distances.  

Bogota is the capital of Colombia and its altitude is 2600 m. Because of this, the weather is cold most part of the year. 

**Ibague,** on the other hand, is 4 hours away from Bogota. It is much warmer, smaller and nicer. Although it looks like a village, it is the capital of the Tolima region. 

For further information, you can find all the details of the itinerary below this description.  

**Please contact me if you want to be a part of this amazing trek experience in the wild environment of Los Nevados National Park. I will be happy to be your guide there!**

The trip starts in Ibague from where we will travel to a hostel in Palomar today. From Ibague  
we will use a private transfer.

We will arrive in Palomar in the afternoon and check into a hostel. We will have dinner and rest for the next day.

Palomar

At 8:00 am, after breakfast, we will begin trekking for 8-10 hours.

On the way, we stop at a farm for lunch, and later, the hike will continue until the Cañon hot springs. We will camp there, have dinner and enjoy the rest.

The trekking begins

In the morning we have a 4-5 hours hike until the next camp.

In the high camp, 4.400 masl,  we can have dinner and rest  
for the next challenge, the summit.

High camp

Early in the morning, we will go to the summit for a wonderful view of the sunrise.

We will clean the campsite and organize the package for the horses and then go to La Primavera farm for dinner and rest.

Tolima summit (5200 m)

After breakfast, we will go down to cocora valley, and end the trip in Salento.

In Salento, we can organize accommodation in a  hostel.

Salento

Join Alex on a mountaineering experience in Los Nevados National Park. It will be an amazing 5-day trip, that includes climbing Nevado del Tolima, a 5200 m peak!

Ibague Palomar Trek and Nevado del Tolima Ascent

**Join me for a 4-day trip in the Colombian Andes. We will start trekking in the coffee region, then into the Cocora valley and Los Nevados National Park. Towards the end, we will go up the impressive Nevado del Tolima.**

**Nevado del Tolima** is a 5230 m volcanic peak. It stands in the Tolima department, between the regions of Quindio, Risaralda and Caldas. It is the second highest summit in **Los Nevados National Park**, after Nevado del Ruiz.

Because of the wide range of landscapes, you can see as you go up, this place is one of the main attractions for mountaineers and hikers in Colombia.

In fact, most of the routes start at a low altitude, so you’ll hike across tropical vegetation first and find glaciers closer to the summit.

Many people consider the ascent to Nevado del Tolima one of the most difficult and technical in the country. The access is not easy, it is quite steep and the glacier makes it even more challenging. Nevertheless, is a great experience!

Below this description, you can look at the itinerary I propose.

**Please contact me if you want to join me for this trip in the central Andes in Colombia. You will discover the beautiful coffee region, and also go up one of the country’s most iconic peaks!**

Our meeting point will be in Salento. We will start walking early because the altitude difference is significant. The hike to La Argentina farm has a duration of 8 hours. We will enjoy a picnic and then have dinner and sleep in a bed on the farm. Depending on the reservations it is possible to sleep in La Argentina farm or to walk 2 hours more to Buenos Aires Farm which is also a great place.

Salento - La Argentina or Buenos aires

We will have breakfast on the farm and begin the hike to La primavera (4-5 hours approx). The idea is to rest well in La Primavera and in the middle of the night a big party begins!

La Argentina - La primavera

The party begins with a hot drink if you want and continues with a challenging hike to the Tolima Summit. It will be about 12-16 hours long. Afterwards, we will come back to the farm for a good meal and take a  
deserved rest.

La Primavera - Summit - La Primavera

In the morning, we will organize our bag packs on the mules and walk downhill to the Cocora Valley. The trip will end when we reach Salento.

La Primavera - Salento

**Join me on this intense and amazing expedition towards the Ritacuba Blanco summit (5,411 m), in the Colombian Andes. I invite you to share with me this 15-day traverse to remember.**

First, I will meet you at the **El Dorado Airport, Bogota**. Next day will be acclimatization day around the city of Bogota. On Day 3, we will transfer to **El Cocuy** (2,850 m), for our first acclimatization walk. I will guide you up the hills outside El Cocuy.

Next, we will transfer to **Güican**, to start our trek to **Hacienda La Esperanza** (3,593 m) for the night. On Day 6 I will lead you on a new acclimatization walk. This time we will walk through rocky ridges to **Pico del Aguila** (4,020 m). Later, we will descend back to the Hacienda for the night.

As from Day 7, we will spend several nights camping. I will lead you to **Laguna Grande de la Sierra** (4,514 m), a high mountain valley. Over the next two days we will climb new peaks in the areas. Two possible options are: **Pico Concavo** (5170 m) and **Pico Toti** (5,017 m).

Finally, Day 12 will be summit day. I will guide you on the ascent to the **Ritacuba Blanco summit (5,400 m)**. While this mountain is considered a "trekking peak", take into account that its ascent includes some moderate and steep slopes, as well as rough, rocky morain.

(Day 13 is reserved as spare summit day, to account for possible bad weather for summit day).

Also, note that the group will include from 4 to 8 mountaineers.

Ritacuba Blanco ascent in Colombia

**Parque Nacional Los Nevados** (Los Nevados National Park) is located in the heart of Colombia’s coffee region, in the Central Range of the Colombian Andes. It stretches over 58,300 hectares and contains a variety of climates and landscapes, including volcanoes, glaciers, valleys, and wetlands.

Our tour will begin in **Pereira** (1,400 m), the main cities of the Risaralda Department. We will drive to the entrance of the National Park and then hike for around 3 hours to the **Laguna del Otun** (3,950 m). With a surface of 1,5 square kilometers and a depth of 70 meters, it is the greatest lagoon in the area.

The following day we will hike during 8 hours up to the **Nevado de Santa Isabel** (4,950 m), a glacial, snow-capped volcano, whose melting feeds the Laguna de Otun. The descent will take us 6 to 8 hours, heading to **Finca Berlin**.

Our route will then take us 6 to 8 hours up to the **Paramillo del Quindio** (4,750 m), an inactive volcano located on the south of Parque Nacional Los Nevados. Although it has lost its once eternal snowcap, it is one of the most visited peaks in the area. We will spend the night at **Finca La Playa** (1,895 m), a typical cattle farm in the Quindio Department.

Finally, we will hike to the **Nevado del Tolima** (5,200 m), the second highest volcanic summit in the park. Given its conical shape, with high steep slopes, and a small glacier at the top, climbing this peak is pretty challenging. The ascent will take us from 12 to 15 hours.

During the descent we will traverse the **Cocora Valley** heading to the city of **Salento** (1,895), our final destination before returning to Bogota. The Cocora Valley is the main location of Colombia’s national tree and symbol, the Quindio wax palm. In fact, it is one of the only places in the world where these trees can be seen in their natural habitat.

The best time of the year to go on this trip is from December to beginning of April. I often do it in June, August and September as well, although the weather during these three months tends to be a little bit unstable.

Trekking through Los Nevados National Natural Park in Colombia (4 days)

#### For a full day, we would like to guide you on an unforgettable rock climbing adventure in the Colombian town of Suesca.

Located **less than 60 kilometers from the amazing city of Bogota**, **Suesca** is a great place to visit if you want to escape the big city. Beautiful and full of amazing scenery, it is definitely a great place to spend a day. And on this trip, you will get to spend that day **multi-pitch rock climbing** on the town’s array of great climbing walls.

The walls you will get to choose from are as high as **120 meters**! And while that may seem intimidating, you can rest assured you will be expertly and safely guided every single meter. Furthermore, despite the height of the walls, navigating them is actually not that difficult. That is why even children **as young as 9 years old** can enjoy this trip. However, it is important that participants on this trip are in **good physical condition**, as rock climbing can be as physically taxing as it can be rewarding.

**Rock climbing anywhere is an exciting experience. However, getting to enjoy it in a place as beautiful as Suesca makes the experience even better. So if you would like to enjoy this full day, multi-pitch climbing adventure, just send us a request.**

Would you like to enjoy a shorter, less strenuous rock climbing trip in **Suesca**? Then join us on [this half-day trip.](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/half-day-sport-climbing-on-the-rocks-in-suesca-colombia/)
