Nevado & Hot Springs
Come ready for an exciting excursion to one of the highest peaks of the Colombian Andes Mountains, the “Nevado del Ruiz” active Volcano.
In one day we will drive through these stunning stretches and experience the country’s changes in elevation, climate and landscape as we ascend exploring the vastness and beauty of the Los Nevados National Park.
This Road Trip starts from 1,300 up to approx. 4,450 meters above sea level (around 4,265 ft to 14,599 ft) with four carefully chosen rest stops to help us acclimate, hydrate and adjust to higher altitudes.
We must stay warm so you’ll need to layer up with Winter outfits, our final destination it’s 14,000 + feet High!
The park is home to a unique variety of flora and fauna with more than 32 species of Hummingbirds, all thriving in this impressive Andean Paramo Ecosystem.
After reaching the summit we will take a sweet plunge at the steaming Natural Hot Springs of “Termales del Ruiz Hotel” and if we’re lucky see and feed the hummingbirds which roam free in the area.
