The snow-capped Nevado del Tolima (5221 m) is located in Los Nevados National Natural Park, in the Central Andes of Colombia, within the country’s traditional coffee-growing region. This beautiful, conical volcano rises above a vast volcanic plateau and is one of the park’s three major summits.
The ascent is one of the most varied and scenic mountaineering experiences in Colombia. The trek begins in the beautiful Cocora Valley (2425 m) and leads all the way to the icy summit (5221 m). Along the way, hikers experience a remarkable variety of climatic zones, temperatures, landscapes, flora and fauna.
This is a challenging trek, mainly due to the long distances involved, but every step is well worth the effort. The itinerary has been carefully designed to allow for better acclimatization and a gradual ascent, increasing the chances of reaching the summit.
Beyond the climb itself, the region’s rich coffee culture adds another dimension to the experience and can be enjoyed at both the beginning and the end of the program.
