We had an amazing time trekking up to the cerro, with stunning views that really made the effort worthwhile. The transportation was smooth, but we did find ourselves wishing for a bit more information on the trail details along the way.

The Cerro Colorado trek offered breathtaking views that truly lived up to our expectations. As we hiked through the Andean landscape, the stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains took our breath away, especially when we reached the summit. One highlight was a peaceful picnic we enjoyed at a lookout point, surrounded by nature’s beauty. However, we felt that the pace was a bit rushed at times, which made it hard to fully soak in the scenery. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with adventure and family bonding.
