Description
Be picked up at 7:00 am from your hotel in Popayán to begin the journey to Puracé National Natural Park, situated in the central mountain range of the country. Adventure starts with a climb through various indigenous villages in the region, where you will witness the picturesque potato, carrot, and strawberry crops. You'll also observe the morning milk extraction by the farmers and indigenous people, and enjoy a distant view of the impressive western mountain range. Around 10 am, you will reach the renowned condor stone. From this vantage point, you can marvel at the Andean condors from just 8 meters (26 feet) away for at least an hour. You'll admire the majestic flight of these iconic Andean birds before continuing the journey through the valley of the frailejones, a plant native to Colombia that grows one centimeter each year. This route will take you past the Bedón waterfall, located at an altitude of 3,600 meters (11,811 feet), and a viewpoint offering a scenic view of the Andulbio lagoon, known for its serene beauty. Next, you'll visit the enchanting Pozo de los Deseos in the Danta watering place and proceed to the highlight of your excursion: the thermal baths of San Juan. In the final part of the tour, you will have the opportunity to relax in this natural setting. Afterwards, you'll head to a local restaurant to savor a delicious traditional lunch, featuring grilled fish or meat, accompanied by rice, salad, soup, patacones (twice-fried plantain slices), and a hot drink. After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Popayán, with an estimated arrival time of 6 pm.Includes
