Ascent to Nevado del Tolima

• We will take a local transfer to the Cocora valley. It’s a 40 minutes’ transport approximately in a local jeep.
• In the Cocora Valley we have breakfast around 8 am, then we send the duffel bags in the horses.
• The hike lasts 6 or 8 hours, depending on the conditions, the lowest point is in the Cocora Valley. It’s almost 2.300 meters above sea level and the highest one it’s the Argentina farm, around 3.300 (m.a.s.l.).
• We will have breakfast in a restaurant and then have some snacks and a sandwich for lunch. By night we can have dinner on a farm.
• We will sleep on the farm until the night is better than camp.

We will have breakfast in a farm and go up to the camp in a mountain at 4.300 (m.a.s.l.). We will have one or two porters for helping on the way to the campsite to bring water and some gear for camping, it's about 4-5 hours until high camp, the snacks for the day are included. When we arrive at the camp we will make a dinner and organize the equipment for the next day.

Early in the morning we will go to the Tolima Summit! (2-3 am).

It’s a long day, because we start in the camp at 4.300 (m.a.s.l.) and go to the summit at 5.230 (m.a.s.l.) and finally we come back to the Primavera farm. We have some breaks for shure so it's more or less 12-16 hours for this journey.

After breakfast we can send the backpacks on the horses and go down to the Cocora valley, in the afternoon we hope to arrive in Salento.

Usually it's a 6-7 Hours descent and 18 km. In Cocora valley we will take one van or taxi to come back to Salento around 3:00 pm.
