About this tour
This trek gives you the feeling of touching the clouds: mountain trails with views of the snow peaks and a Caribbean sunset with the cold breeze that comes down from the Sierra. Cerro Kennedy is a hidden paradise among the mountains.
You walk over pastures and untouched trails to the Panku waterfall, a cold, pure drop of more than 30 meters. The next morning you wake up facing the snowy Bolívar and Colón peaks, with birdsong and a cup of organic coffee, about as good a start to the day as it gets.
