La Cocha Lagoon & Santa Lucía Wetlands Excursion

At 7:30 am we'll meet at Plaza de Nariño and head to the department of Putumayo, where the first of the natural wonders we'll visit on this tour is located.

After a 40-minute road trip, we'll arrive at La Cocha Lagoon, the second-largest freshwater reserve in Colombia. We'll admire the natural beauty of this place and go on a hiking route through the town of El Puerto, located on the shores of the lake. During the hike, we'll see charming wooden Swiss-inspired houses.

Following the hike, we'll take a boat ride on La Cocha Lagoon until we reach the Santa Lucía wetlands, an area protected by the Ramsar Convention. Here we'll go on another stroll through a valley of frailejones, plants endemic to this ecosystem.

Halfway we'll stop at a local farm, where we'll enjoy a lunch cooked with organic products from the farm. Next, we'll travel to the community of Torres de Paz, where we'll hear the story of the construction of this historic monument that has become a symbol of harmony.

Finally, we'll return to Pasto and arrive at the departure point at 7:30 pm.
