About This Tour

A demanding private 12-hour hike into the Farallones de Cali, starting at 1,400 meters and climbing through tropical jungle and Andean forest within a protected national park to a summit at 2,800 meters, with views over the Cauca Valley and a stop to cool off in the Pance River. This hike is exclusively for your own group. It's a genuinely demanding full-day trek, climbing from 1,400 to 2,800 meters through the Farallones' Andean forest, with a lunch stop in Pance town and time to recover in the river on the way back.

Farallones de Cali National Natural Park was established in 1968 and is the largest protected area in the Valle del Cauca department, covering roughly 150,000 hectares (sources vary, with some citing figures closer to 196,000 hectares depending on how the park's buffer zones are measured). Its highest ridgelines — the dramatic rock cliffs that give the park its name, "los farallones" — rise above 4,000 meters, and the terrain in between spans almost the full range of Andean climates, from warm tropical foothills around 25°C down to cold páramo grassland near 5°C at the summits.

That range of elevation and climate is what makes the park's biodiversity so significant: more than 540 bird species have been recorded within its borders, and the area is internationally recognized as an Important Bird Area. More than 30 rivers also originate inside the park, including the Pance River, whose headwaters sit at Pico Pance — at over 4,000 meters, the highest point in the Western Cordillera — before it runs more than 25 kilometers down toward the Cauca Valley.

This specific hike follows one of the park's most-used access routes, climbing from around 1,400 meters near Pance town up to roughly 2,800 meters, passing through the tropical jungle of the lower slopes into cooler Andean cloud forest higher up. It's a genuinely demanding full day of elevation gain, which is exactly why the cold, clear Pance River — one of the few rivers near Cali still clean enough to swim in — makes such a welcome stop on the way back down.
