Enjoy the purity of Colombian nature with this excursion to La Virginia and El Guásimo from Armenia.

La Virginia & El Guásimo Excursion

At 7 am, we will pick you up at your hotel in Armenia and travel to the department of Risaralda. After an hour and a half, we will arrive at the El Guásimo Natural Reserve in La Virginia.

We will begin a three-hour hike through this protected area, known as the only dry tropical forest in the Andean region.

Upon reaching the Cauca River, we will follow its course for an hour, traversing lush vegetation and observing the great diversity of flora and fauna. Species such as monkeys, felines, rodents, armadillos, and sloths can be found here.

A break will be included to enjoy a typical lunch with a main dish and a drink.

Next, we will visit La Virginia, where the Cauca and Risaralda rivers meet. During a tour of the town, we will see its extensive coffee plantations and learn about local legends and traditions.

Finally, we will return to Armenia, dropping you off at your hotel around 2 pm.

Tour without lunch

If you prefer to bring your own lunch, this option is available during the booking process. You will have time to have lunch before the visit to La Virginia.
