Hike El Tambo Trail
Description
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Medellín at the indicated time to start on a hike that promises the most beautiful landscapes in the Antioquia region.
Our journey will start with a visit to the charming town of San Luis, our starting point for a 12-kilometer (7.4 miles) trek along the El Tambo trail. This medium to high-difficulty hike will lead us up to 1450 meters (4757 feet) above sea level.
As we traverse one of the ancient trails once used by the founders of San Luis, we'll immerse ourselves in a lush tropical rainforest where we can appreciate the rich biodiversity of Antioquia. Along the way, we'll discuss the most common species and maybe even spot them along the route!
Continuing along the trail, we'll come to a natural pool inviting us to take a refreshing dip. As we enjoy the beauty of the surrounding natural landscape, we'll take a break for lunch in this idyllic spot, featuring a spread of cold meats and fresh fruit. After lunch, we'll head back to the town of San Luis.
Arriving back at San Luis, we'll make the final journey back to your hotel in Medellín, after an 11-hour adventure in the Colombian rainforest.
