Trekking
Colombia boasts thirty-seven National Parks and twelve Flora and Fauna Sanctuaries. The Andes and their associated peaks offer trekking to the more adventurous traveller.
The Sierra Nevada Del Cocuy is in the Cordillera Oriental range. It is a national park that has more than twenty snow-capped peaks and some forty glistening lagoons - the trekking scenery is stunning and possibly the best in all Colombia.
In northern Colombia is The Lost City or Ciudad Perdida. These magnificent ruins are nestled deep in the mountainous jungles of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. It takes roughly five days to trek to the ruins and the going is strenuous at best, but the goal is definitely worth it!
Only forty-two kilometres from the warm beaches of the Colombian Caribbean are the freezing mountain summits of the Sierra. The two highest peaks in the chain are Mount Pico Cristobal Colon and Bolivar, at 5,775 meters. Journey along the trails that lead up to mountain lakes and glaciers, although when the going gets steep it does help to have previous mountaineering experience.
