Day Trip to Cerro Machín Volcano + La Florida Hot Springs
Day Trip Details
We'll meet in front of the Surtiplaza supermarket on Calle 37 at the designated time, where we'll hop onboard an off-roading vehicle to leave Ibagué behind and take the Vía Cajamarca to Toche.
Along the way, we'll make a stop in the city of Cajamarca to rest and another at the Cuchilla viewpoint. At this spot, we'll tell you about the Cerro Machín Volcano and the River Toche's canyon, whose landscapes will open up before our eyes.
Once we arrive at Toche, we'll re-energise with breakfast before making our way to the crater of the Cerro Machín Volcano, in the central mountain range of the Colombian Andes. As soon as we arrive, we'll walk up 600 metres (1968 feet) to its viewpoint, from where we'll get to see the 3 impressive lava domes that make up this volcanic cone.
After marvelling at this volcanic landscape, we'll head over to the La Florida hot springs, baths which we'll reach after walking 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) along La Primavera Reserve. During this route by foot, we'll take the opportunity to learn about the importance of this Colombian ecosystem.
Once we reach the hot spring baths, we'll refuel with a lunch made up of 3 dishes. Afterwards, you'll have some free time to enjoy these waters with therapeutic properties.
After this relaxing bath, we'll begin our journey back to Ibagué, where we'll say our goodbyes after a total of 12 hours.
