Stunning - If you love nature and the mountains, this is a must do adventure. Now I want to see more of the Andes Mountain range. Our English speaking guide Jennifer was awesome and our driver was a very good driver. Stunning views that pictures don’t do justice. Every single Columbian was incredibly kind, and tried their very best. We both loved the homemade breakfast and lunch ❤️

Pretty - 10 years ago I was in the snowy mountain, which was beautiful, although it is no longer what it was, there is less snow and I don't know if you can climb to the top.

Wonderful views and a nice dip in the hot springs to end the day - Jennifer was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. The day started early, at 5am. Shortly after 7am, we were at the first stop for breakfast. The view of the mountain and surrounding area was breathtaking, and it was so peaceful. Afterward, we continued to the national park with more stops and explanations of the history and changes that had impacted the area. We returned to the same restaurant for lunch and then drove back, stopping at some beautiful thermals. I was slightly nervous about the altitude, but the walks were slow, so it wasn't a problem.

Great day trip to the volcano - Great trip with john. It's a long day, leaving early and coming back late, but it's worth it to go up and see the volcanic landscape.

One of the best trips I've been on - We had the most amazing experience. Our guide and driver were phenomenal at communicating with us. Although I'm fluent in both Spanish and English, my husband knows very limited Spanish. Our guide, Jennifer and our driver, Carlos were so wonderful. Both spoke English very well and we toggled between English and Spanish all day. However if you only know English, that's ok.
Both stops were incredible. The food was amazing. The elevation was much higher than I expected (ignorance on my part). But we took our time going up and walked very slowly to keep from getting dizzy. This is not the place for someone with limited mobility.

Nevado del Ruiz (Snowy Ruiz) is beautiful even under fog, Termales del Otoño (Hot Springs) were sublime and to top it off I had - While the weather didn't cooperate for my trip to Nevado del Ruiz (it was foggy and rained), it was still absolutely stunning. My English speaking guide Valentina was outstanding, stepping in to translate for me when my limited Spanish wasn't enough. I couldn't have asked for a better guide (muchas gracias, Valentina!!). And a shout out to Jhon our driver! Ending the day at Termales del Otoño was the icing on the cake and JUST the R & R I needed. Thank you to everyone from Cattelya. You guys were fantastic!!

Must see place in Columbia - We liked Los Nevados park very much. Amazinf views in 4 - 4,5 km elevation. The guide provided us with a lot of interesting facts about nature in high Andes. I do not why but there are almost no tourust in this place. For us this place together with Cocora valley are the most beutiful in Columbia.
The only unpleasant issue we had was that our tour agency asked to pay aditionally for the pick up from hotel, although it wad clearly written that the pick up is included into the price. As a result we did not leave tips to our guide.
