\"\"<\/a>Enjoy an awesome mix of city, mountains, and rural coffee country<\/strong> on our new custom, private 8-Day Colombia Los Nevados Trekking Tour<\/a> that you can start any day of the year!<\/p>\n

The trek has a number of days at over 12,467 feet (3,800 meters) above sea level and we consider it physically challenging (like the Inca Trail). Walking can be adapted, however, to suit a traveler’s needs and pace, that is, increased or decreased in difficulty. Your baggage, food, and equipment will be carried by mules for the duration of the trek; you need only carry your day pack. A logistics manager, chef, and trek leader make up the trek team with additional helpers depending on group size.<\/p>\n

Camps will be made ready for when you arrive and the trek has been designed so you typically arrive for lunch, with the rest of the afternoon to relax and take part in further activities like optional day hikes. \u00a03-season Marmot tents, warm 0\u00baF Marmot sleeping bags, Thermarests, and sleeping bag liners are all provided for you along with lighting and a toilet tent.<\/p>\n

Depending on a given location, food may be served either in a support structure or a mess tent. All meals on trek are included as well as in remote locations, such as the Flora and Fauna Sanctuary Otun-Quimbaya.<\/p>\n

For your city stays, we have chosen refined 3-star hotels with excellent service and ratings in both Bogot\u00e1 and Cartagena. These can easily be changed for 5-star options on request. In the cities, most meals are up to you, since there are so many choices to pick from, but we will help with transportation if necessary, so you can experience some local restaurants.<\/p>\n
