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 the municipality of Guachucal, located in the south of the department of Nariño.

Upon arrival, we will take an ancient path used by indigenous people to travel to the La Bolsa lagoon, which represented a point of spiritual strength. This path runs through pastures on the slopes of the Cumbal volcano and borders the Los Capotes Nature Reserve.

The walk, which takes approximately four hours and is of medium-low difficulty, will include legends surrounding the Cumbal volcano and insights into how Guachucal inhabitants protect their natural environment. This journey focuses on introspection and connection with nature.

At the La Bolsa lagoon, we will explain why this area was deemed a source of energy and renewal by indigenous peoples and allow you to enjoy the view of the lagoon with Cumbal volcano in the background.

We will take a boat to cross the lagoon and enter the municipality of Cumbal. Here, we will enter the Los Capotes Reserve, where lunch will consist of soup, a fish main course, and a drink.

Finally, we will return to Pasto, leaving you at the starting point by 6 pm.
