Stunning mountain experience! Honest, professional & passionate organisation
We did the 4-day Nevado del Tolima hike, and can only recommend it highly!! Gustavo from the office truly wants you to have a good experience and helped us with everything we needed. The gear is perfect. A lot of snacks and food.
Our guide Hamilton was professional, experienced, sincerely passionate, with an incredible knowledge of the mountains, nature, safety, ornithology… and a huge love and respect for the environment.
Book in advance and check with them what to bring. Make sure you’re acclimatised and in good health and condition before. Lots depends on the weather, but you’re in super good hands with Salento Hikers!
