Essential Clothing and Accessories:

The páramo climate is cold and variable, so we recommend packing smartly:

• Warm clothing: Dress in layers, including sweaters, a hat, gloves, and a scarf.
• Suitable footwear: Opt for comfortable, waterproof shoes with good grip, ideal for walking on natural terrain.
• Sun protection: UV radiation is high at altitude. Don’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or cap.
• Camera: You’ll want to capture the breathtaking views that will surround you.

Keep in mind that even if the day is sunny, it could rain at any moment, so a light raincoat or a water-resistant jacket will be your best allies.

Also, we recommend using an SUV since the roads are cobble stone
