Trip Highlights
Our adventure, one of the most requested in the Andes, starts at Los Nevados, one of the many mucu-posadas (ecologically founded, basic Posadas in the middle of the mountains of the Andes) we'll visit in this trip. Next day, we'll ride in mule to Alto La Cruz (4,200 meter above sea level) to enjoy a breathtaking view of Mérida and Pico Bolivar. After that, we'll enjoy the natural hot springs in Los Calderones Valley (3,500 meters). Our trekking expedition starts on the third day. This is a demanding trek so for those that aren't good trekkers, you will have an option of riding a mule. See armlands, semi-deserted areas, páramo scenery, high rocky crests dusted with snow and ice and cloudy forests...all in a 3 day trip!
