Enjoy the typical landscapes of the Colombian department of Cauca on this hiking route through the Silvia moorland. We'll see high mountains and participate in an ancestral rite.

Silvia Moorland Hike

At 7 am, we'll meet at Parque Principal, the main park of Silvia, to start a hike exploring the beautiful landscapes around this town.

When booking, you can choose between a 4 or 9-hour hiking tour. Regardless of your choice, we'll have ample time to learn about the local flora and fauna and take numerous photos of the wilderness in the Silvia moorland.

During the hike, we'll traverse an ancestral trail that historically connected the departments of Cauca and Huila. Participants will see small springs and high mountains while spotting several specimens of frailejones, a unique shrub native to the area, which can take up to 100 years to reach a height of 2 meters.

If you opt for the 9-hour route, we will participate in a ritual of the Misak tribe, where we'll make an offering to Mother Earth, signifying a spiritual moment.

The hiking route through the Silvia moorlands concludes at either 11 am or 4 pm, depending on the chosen duration.
