Here, you'll cross this Andean pass, journey past snow-covered mountains with awe-inspiring glaciers, followed by a beautiful descent to Yolosa at 1,150 m.a.s.l / 3,772 ft, marking the entrance to the Amazon jungle.
- Upon reaching Yolosa, you will visit La Senda Verde, a unique Wildlife Refuge. This project began in 2003 as a typical ecotourism lodge. But soon after, in 2004, the founders started rescuing the first animals: a capuchin monkey and two parrots. Today, La Senda Verde has become a sanctuary for over 450 animals, including various types of monkeys, birds, two Andean bears, turtles, and snakes.
