Paso del Mango is an ancient indigenous trail that borders the Manzanares River. It is an open natural space where we will interact with endangered species, and plant life. We will have an experience designed around cocoa, where we will enjoy the different wells and waterfalls that the Sierra Nevada offers to us. This trip is exclusive as there are not many operators on the area. That makes this experience unique, your eyes will never forget what they saw after you interacted with this magical place!
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 12.
Paso del Mango is located 40 minutes away from Santa Marta within the foothills of Sierra Nevada National Park, at 500 mts above sea level within the Cloud Forest Ecosystem. We will go on our private transportation to the beginning of the trail were we will start the adventure.
Once we reach our first stop which is the start of the waterfall trail, we'll start hiking for about 3 hours stopping and enjoying each one of the falls. The trail is mildly difficult but we'll have amazing views of the valley once we reach the top of the mountain. Each one of the waterfalls is beautiful in its own way and since this area is not very well known, we'll be able to enjoy them by ourselves, making this the perfect adventure for people who want to connect with the jungle, nature, and themselves.
Once we finish the trail, we'll have a locally sourced lunch with fresh ingredients and an amazing chicken option cooked in a traditional clay oven. You can also ask for a vegetarian option, the lunch includes fresh juice whit local fruits.
The next stop is a botanical garden filled with interesting plant species native to our mountain system, such as exotic flowers and fruits. We'll walk along original indigenous trails, visit a Macaw reproduction program, and see the Arapaimas (one of the world's largest freshwater fish), alligators, and a variety of mountain animals. Petroglyphs are carved on the rocks of a sacred waterhole we'll take a quick plunge in, depicting the Tayrona cosmovision and culture.
One of the highlights of this one in a life time experience is our Cacao (Cocoa) Experience. We'll walk around an organic cocoa field where we will be learning the entire process of chocolate crafting, and tasting the cocoa fresh fruit with a participation on the bean grounding process. At the end we will drink a hot cup of chocolate after the tour, enjoy cocoa samples in different percentages and finish with a hydrating chocolate facial mask.
After we finish our journey we'll be picked up by our 4WD transportation to head back to drop you off on your accommodation.
We pick you up at your accommodation and drop you off there again after the trip, make sure you're located on the designated areas for pick ups. We will call you prior to confirm that we are going to the meeting point.
