Description
Pico de Loro offers you a direct connection with Mother Earth as you make your way through the clouds through its forest of fog and lands full of thick jungle surrounded by waterfalls and rivers that will make you feel in paradise.

Very organized, honest, responsible; the guide Ernesto is a 10/10, and the driver Armando is very kind and punctual. I would recommend him to anyone.

Awesome... Thank you for your recommendation, we hope to see you again for more experiences
I visited Pico de Loro today with my son and the experience was truly extraordinary. The views from the top are unique, those that leave you speechless and make every step worthwhile. The terrain is demanding, but overall the hike feels completely rewarding and is a five-star adventure. I want to highlight especially our guide, Jhonier, who made all the difference. His knowledge of the trail, his patience and the way he accompanied the rhythm of the group made us feel safe and enjoy every leg of the tour. Without a doubt, having him as a guide took the experience to another level. I recommend this tour 100%, both for those who seek a physical challenge and those who want to connect with nature and live a special moment in the Farallones de Cali. An experience I would repeat without hesitation!

We did this trek with my Italian girlfriend. Ernesto accompanied us on a day started by rain. We were lucky to get to know the history of this place and appreciate these beautiful landscapes.
Superrr El parque nacional natural Farallones de Cali es un lugar que es imperdible.
This trail is the most difficult trail I ever had. This high humidity, heavy rainfalls an a mean inclination of 35% make it unique I was one this Trail with Julian - even if it was not possible to reach the top at this day it was a great experience
Awesome... Thank you, the most important is that you enjoyed this hike.
The excellent route, I felt renewed with the route, and it was a challenge fulfilled in my list. The guide Julian very attentive to your needs, very understanding, very good talk, rather 1000/10.
Genial, nos alegra mucho que hayan disfrutado de las maravillas que tenemos a los alrededores de Cali. Gracias le enviaremos el mensaje a Julian.
Valley Adventours was a great company to work with to plan our Pico de Loro hike. They were extremely responsive, informative, and flexible when we wanted to bring three extra friends the day before the excursion. They were timely and their communication was clear. Julian, our tour guide, was also lovely and though it was a Spanish tour, he has fairly good English so we got by as an English-speaking group. It was a really rainy and muddy day, but we still had a blast. Thank you!
Thats Fantastic, Even the rain and mud you enjoyed your hike, Thank you for choosing us. We hope you come back for more experiences
Exceeded all my expectations! Ernesto my guide was amazing and the trail in truly wonderful -full of challanges and magical flora!! Loved it!
Great... We are more than happy you had a great tour with our guide Ernesto.
Our guide Ernesto was amazing. He was very patient with us as we took breaks on the way up and encouraged us every step of the way. My friend who joined me on the hike doesn’t speak Spanish, and he was very understanding as I translated for her. He had so much information about the local flora and fauna that really made the hike interactive and exceeded our expectations. The hike itself was hard (especially on the way up), but completely worth it! Can’t recommend this experience enough. Gracias Ernesto!
Awww Our guide Ernesto is more than happy to see this comment, We are so happy you enjoyed the tour and had fun. we are glad you made it it is a hard hike. Congratulations
It was a great adventours experience. In addition to hiking, I did some birdwatching and studying some plants in the Parque Nacional Natural Farallones de Cali. Even though the guide was only speaking Spanish I could manage with everything by using Google translate. He was well knowledgeable and helpful. The scenery on the top was stunning and heavenly. It’s a thrilling adventure, but definitely need good endurance to try it.
Thats great. Thank you for taking both hikes with us, and now we are more than happy that you enjoyed and have the opportunity to see some birds. Thank you
