A very recommended trip for those who want to know the snow in only one day. The ascent through the paramo is incredible. Thanks to the agency and our guide for the good service!

Juan Carlos Mesa

It was an excellent trip since the very beginning.

We climbed for two hours by car through a spectacular road to finally reach the Park and find very estrange plants. A unique landscape. The ascent to El Nevado is demanding, especially because of the altitude that makes difficult to breath, however the landscape is worth the effort.

Thanks to our guide Germán for the good guidance.
