Beautiful landscapes - The itinerary was as described in the service. The food is delicious in proportion to the value of the package. The local guides were very attentive. They are patients. It is clear that they know and respect the territory a lot. An adventure for the whole family. The natural landscape is UNFRIENDLY. It is worth all the time in the world to go and see with your own eyes the beautiful Condor of the Andes

a very attractive and unusual place - A magical place and certainly not at all common.
Puracé National Natural Park
Declared by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1979, the Puracé National Natural Park is a volcanic area and reflects this both in its numerous sulfur springs and in its name, which in the Quechua language means “mountain of fire.” The main rivers of Colombia are born there: Magdalena, Cauca, Patía and Caquetá and also 30 calm and clear lagoons, ideal for contemplation. Within its wonderful landscape rises the Coconucos volcanic chain, also known as Serranía de los Coconucos, made up of 11 volcanoes. Of these, the most notable are the Pan de Azúcar (5,000 meters above sea level), the Puracé (4,780 meters above sea level), the only active one, and the Coconuco (4,600 meters above sea level). At the beginning of the 20th century, the entire Serranía remained snowy; Currently, not even the highest mountain, Sugar Loaf, retains snow. The indigenous people say that the whites' ax scared away “Jucas”, the owner of snow and hail.
