Hiking and Trekking Tours
Through the year, our safe and comfortable walking trails are traversed by people
of all nationalities, ages and walks of life - each with a different objective…

scientific investigation, adventure, a bit of exercise, birdwatching, or simply
to find the peace that comes with the beautiful cloud forest and pure fresh air.
We have 35 kilometers of forest trails, mostly through virgin woods. The altitude
varies from 2,200 to 3,470 meters (7,220 ft to 11,384 ft). Enter our forests into
a cathedral-like setting with columns of hundred-year old trees, multi-colored
plants and mushrooms, celestial choirs of birds, and multitudes of insects,
amphibians and mammals that will make your walk magical and unforgettable.

Thanks to the special characteristics of the area, our paths suit many desires and needs.
For example, start off with a powerfully emotive experience of a wilderness of dwarf plants,
and then pass through ecosystems that vary greatly over short distances, finally arriving at
the Cloud Forest, with its abundant flora and fauna…or if you prefer more adrenaline-pumping
adventure, we suggest the river path, where you will climb enormous rocks en route to the
mystical veils of white mists and crystal waters. Once there, relax and let yourself be
carried away by the symphony of sounds that surround you.
