Silvia Moorland Hike

At 7 am, we'll meet at Parque Principal, the main park of Silvia, to start a hike that will take us to discover the beautiful landscapes of the surroundings of this town.

When booking, you can choose to go on a 4 or 9-hour hiking tour. Regardless of the option, we will have ample time to learn about the local flora and fauna and capture images of the wilderness of the Silvia moorland.

During the hike, we'll walk along an ancestral trail that connected the Colombian departments of Cauca and Huila. We will encounter small springs and high mountains and observe various specimens of frailejones, a typical shrub of the area. Notably, this plant can take up to 100 years to grow 2 meters tall!

If you select the 9-hour route, we will participate in a ritual of the Misak tribe where we will make an offering to Mother Earth.

We will conclude our hiking route through the Silvia moorlands at 11 am or 4 pm, depending on the chosen duration.
