Other Practical InformationThis is a high-altitude trek. You will spend your first night at an altitude of 3,930m and trek to the height of 4,950m on Day 2. We recommend acclimatizing in Bogota (2640m) for at least 2 days prior to this trip to avoid altitude sickness. The physical demand of this trip is very high, with days 2 to 5 involving 6 to 10 hours of high-altitude trekking on moderate to steep terrain everyday. You need to be physically fit to participate in this adventure. You will need to carry a backpack with trail water, food, a sleeping bag and your personal belongings (clothes, personal medicine, etc) by yourself Weather conditions do not always allow for reaching Nevado de Santa Isabel's highest point. Your guide will determine whether it is safe to make an attempt to the top.
