Despite the fact that it was a grey day, it was really a very nice day. At each stop we discovered new landscapes. The diversity of the flora is breathtaking and the views beautiful. I would have thought I had a day with more hikes and less car, but for sure if the hike had been longer we would not have seen all these sublime places.
took this tour to visit the Puracè Natural Park. The tour was well organized and interesting also for the possibility of seeing the condor up close. Special thanks to the guide MSs Marta and the driver Jeffer.
Spectacular, a wonderful (magical) place, the attention during the tour was the best, very punctual, excellent.
We greatly appreciate the cordiality and willingness of all the people who assisted us... It was a very special day for our family. ✨ Thank you very much for giving us your experiences and wisdom. Puracé shined today. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
A place that every Colombian should visit, admire and protect. We are lucky to have this wonder in our territory. This experience was thanks to Destinations, tours and trips from Popayan. Seriousness and speed in responses. They are clear! ✌️
A magical place and certainly not at all common. Puracé National Natural Park Declared by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1979, the Puracé National Natural Park is a volcanic area and reflects this both in its numerous sulfur springs and in its name, which in the Quechua language means “mountain of fire.” The main rivers of Colombia are born there: Magdalena, Cauca, Patía and Caquetá and also 30 calm and clear lagoons, ideal for contemplation. Within its wonderful landscape rises the Coconucos volcanic chain, also known as Serranía de los Coconucos, made up of 11 volcanoes. Of these, the most notable are the Pan de Azúcar (5,000 meters above sea level), the Puracé (4,780 meters above sea level), the only active one, and the Coconuco (4,600 meters above sea level). At the beginning of the 20th century, the entire Serranía remained snowy; Currently, not even the highest mountain, Sugar Loaf, retains snow. The indigenous people say that the whites' ax scared away “Jucas”, the owner of snow and hail.
Super the day trip to Purace, you know many beautiful places, a true connection with nature, the guides are very friendly, a very beautiful experience ☺️
The itinerary was as described in the service. The food is delicious in proportion to the value of the package. The local guides were very attentive. They are patients. It is clear that they know and respect the territory a lot. An adventure for the whole family. The natural landscape is UNFRIENDLY. It is worth all the time in the world to go and see with your own eyes the beautiful Condor of the Andes
Interesting tour in and through the national park (indigenous area), Elkin is a very nice and competent organizer and guide (in a duo with "park rangers"). A real highlight with a good atmosphere
Interactions with the guide and connecting with nature, birds, plants, particularités of volcano environment
