About this activity

Pico de Loro offers you a direct connection with Mother Earth as you make your way through the clouds through its forest of fog and lands full of thick jungle surrounded by waterfalls and rivers that will make you feel in paradise.

Once at the top we contemplate an extraordinary view of the Valle del Cauca and the Farallones of Cali, you will feel peace with yourself and you will discover yourself step by step while you breathe fresh and pure air from the Pacific that conquers the mountain and glides between the clouds, stones and dense vegetation.

Pico de Loro is located within the Farallones National Natural Park of Cali, in this park inhabit more than 540 species of birds along with species in danger of extinction unique in Colombia and the world. Here, more than 30 rivers that supply the south west of Colombia are also born. Without a doubt, a privileged place that invites you to reconciliation with nature.
