Guachucal + La Cumbal Lagoon Hiking Tour

At 6 am we'll meet at the monument to Antonio Nariño in the square of the same name. From here we will travel to Guachucal, located in the south of the department of Nariño.

Upon arrival, we'll take an ancient path used by the indigenous people to travel to the La Bolsa lagoon, a significant location for them. This path runs through the pastures on the slopes of the Cumbal volcano and borders the Los Capotes Nature Reserve.

The walk, lasting about four hours and of medium-low difficulty, will include narratives of legends surrounding the Cumbal volcano and insights into how the local inhabitants protect their natural surroundings. This journey fosters introspection and connection with nature.

At La Bolsa lagoon, you'll learn about its significance as a source of energy and renewal and enjoy views of the lagoon with the Cumbal volcano in the background.

We'll take a boat to cross the lagoon and enter the municipality of Cumbal. Here, in the Los Capotes Reserve, we will have lunch, which includes a soup, a fish main course, and a drink.

Finally, we'll return to Pasto and drop you off at the starting point by 6 pm.
