Mazafonte is a unique destination in the world. We will visit an endemic forest, full of giant frailejones (more than 10 meters), orchids and which we consider the home of the Andean bear. If you want a surprising place in terms of biodiversity and landscapes, this will undoubtedly be a place to be surprised.
This experience will be unique thanks to the accompaniment of the professional guide, who is not only a Biologist and will be able to tell impressive details of the ecosystems and landscapes visited. He is also a local guide and will be accompanied by another local guide, a member of the rural tourism association, who is in-depth knowledge of the territory.
This tour has a maximum capacity of 7 people, so we respect the carrying capacity of the environment, being able to enjoy the silence, tranquility and true stillness of the mountain.
If we are lucky and have good energy we will be able to spot the Andean bear in the middle of our route or see footprints and marks that will allow us to learn more about its ecology.
