Climbing "Cerro Tusa" is not for the faint of heart, it is for those who love to conquer and challenge themselves in every opportunity they have in life, and discover their true human potential.
"Cerro Tusa" holds a profound historical significance as an ancient sacred site where the "Sinifaná" tribe once conducted worship ceremonies. In alignment with the timeless tradition of ancient civilizations, our ancestors recognized the spiritual potency of elevated points, denying the necessity to build pyramids. Instead, they revered the natural magnificence of colossal mountains like "Cerro Tusa", using these majestic peaks as sacred conduits to connect with their gods.
So this is not only a personal challenge to conquer the tallest natural pyramid in the world, it is a profound connection with your innerself and this mysterious universe.

1) Our first stop is the most famous restaurant of Medellín, just a few minutes outside the city, known for having the best "empanadas" and "pasteles de pollo" of all the region! We'll enjoy a good typical breakfast to start getting ready and pumped up with energy to climb Cerro Tusa, we're going to need a lot of calories! *Cerro Tusa holds a profound historical significance as an ancient sacred site where the Sinifaná tribe once conducted worship ceremonies.

2) After an enjoyable one-hour drive through beautiful landscapes, traditional farms, gigantic mountains and all the natural beauty of Medellín's countryside, we'll reach our main destination—the town of Venice where Cerro Tusa is located. We'll park at a cozy local farm and take a moment to warm up and get ready for our adventure, we'll take a pleasant 45-50 minute walk (1 km) along natural paths that will lead us to the base of Cerro Tusa, where the real challenge begins. The ascent to Cerro Tusa is level 5 (on a scale of 1 to 5) with a 45°-70° inclination the whole way up, sometimes we have to use hands and feet to get through some sections, grabbing roots, trees and rocks to help you go up, so it is recommended to use closed shoes with very good grip, maybe a hiking stick (if not, we'll find one on the path), lots of concentration and physical resistance, is the challenge of a lifetime ! Our price is the summit and its incredible 360° views.
