New8 hFree cancellationBy Trekking Y Aventuras

About this activity

It's about having fun while you exercise and connect with yourself. There are more than 5 kilometers of ascent to the town of Los Santos, ancient habitat of the Guane Indians. This charming place still preserves many of the caves with cave paintings of the natives. Just be sure to photograph the gigantic Chicamocha canyon, the second longest in the world as you ascend. This captivating stone road is part of the network of royal roads, rebuilt by the German Geo Von Lengerke after the time of the colony in Colombia. You will practically and literally be walking through the first avenues of Colombia, which helped the development of the economy in those times. Come and let the guide hired for the day tell you the story of Jordan, the smallest town in Colombia, where you can also find the country's first toll. This walk will measure you a bit physically and mentally.
