Otún Quimbaya Sanctuary Hike

Having picked you up from your hotel in Armenia at 8 am, we'll set off northbound for the Otún Quimbaya Flora and Fauna Sanctuary.

After driving for 1 hour 30 minutes, we'll arrive at this nature reserve nestled in the Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes. This space is dedicated to the conservation of various species, some in danger of extinction, that thrive in its ecosystems.

When we get there, we'll begin a 1.2-mile (2-kilometre) hike through the Andean rainforest. During our hike, which is of low difficulty, we'll see a number of birds in their natural habitat, including moustached antpittas, multicoloured tanagers, and torrent ducks.

Additionally, we'll observe mammals such as monkeys, silver foxes, tapirs, and pacaranas. This sanctuary ensures that these animals have a protected space in which they can live safely.

During our walk, we'll make a stop to replenish our energy with a traditional local lunch consisting of one course and a drink. After eating, we'll continue exploring the area's nature.

We'll then return to Armenia and drop you off at your hotel at 3 pm.
