Tour of Puracé National Park & Andean Condor Observation

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Silvia at 6:40 am, after which we'll embark on a scenic two-and-a-half-hour bus ride towards Puracé National Natural Park.

Upon reaching this extraordinary location situated at over 3400 meters (11155 feet) above sea level, we'll engage in a bird-watching activity. Keep a watchful eye for the illustrious Andean condor, recognized as one of the largest avian species worldwide. During this time, we'll share fascinating insights about this endangered bird, which proudly appears on the emblems of Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, and Bolivia.

Following an hour of appreciating the magnificence of the Andean condor in flight, our exploration of Puracé National Park will continue. The next destination is the valley of frailejones, a distinctive flora typical of the páramos, with 90 variations found across the nation!

Subsequent stops will include the stunning waterfall of the Bedón river, the picturesque Andulbio lagoon, and the enchanting wishing well. Here, you'll be able to relish the stunningly clear waters of these natural wonders, along with ample time to capture beautiful photographs.

Our final highlight involves a visit to the thermal baths of San Juan, famed for their vibrant pools and rivers, showcasing captivating shades of grey, turquoise, pink, and green. You'll discover the reasons behind these colors!

Before concluding our adventure, a delicious lunch will be served, featuring options such as fish, grilled meat, or chicken accompanied by various side dishes like rice, salad, or 'patacones' (twice-fried plantain chips), as well as a refreshing drink.

Once we've revitalized, we will board the bus for our return to Silvia, concluding the day’s activities and dropping you off at your hotel.
