Climb to the top of the Santa Isabel Volcano. See glacier lakes along the way. Travel to Laguna de Otun, a lake fed by the Santa Isabel Glacier. Enjoy walking through the lush green landscape of a paramo, a variety of alpine tundra ecosystems known for being home to spongy species of plants with succulent stems used to store moisture. See frailejones (cactus-like plants), rabbits and Andean condors along the way.
Travel through a cloud forest whose lower parts are dominated by giant wax palm trees, the tallest palm trees in the world that shoot up to 60m into the sky. End your journey in the Cocora Valley.
