On our day trip to La Virginia and El Guásimo from Manizales, we'll discover a protected area in the Risaralda Department while combining sport and culture.
La Virginia & El Guásimo Day Trip
At 7 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Manizales to visit two locations in the Risaralda Department.
Our first stop will be the El Guásimo Nature Reserve, which encompasses 1400 hectares, including 400 hectares of a dry tropical forest. This forest is unique in the Andean zone and is situated between the Cauca and Risaralda rivers.
Upon arrival, we'll embark on a 3-hour hike through the vegetation, reaching the Cauca River, followed by an additional hour of walking. A break will be taken for a traditional local lunch with a main course and a drink.
Next, we will visit the municipality of La Virginia, where we'll explore the residents' livelihoods involving coffee and fruit tree plantations.
We will return to Manizales, dropping you off at your hotel at around 1 pm.
