Ascent of Nevado del Tolima, Colombia

Los Nevados National Park lies in Colombia's Cordillera Central mountain range, around 150km south of the city of Medellin. It rises to just over 5,000m and is surrounded by páramo, the high-altitude grassland characterised by damp, windy conditions, tall paja grass and unusual plant species. Nevado del Tolima (5,215m) is the second highest peak in Colombia's Los Nevados National Park. It is an active, glaciated volcano with a bubbling crater surrounded by impressive ice seracs. This video follows an ascent of Nevado del Tolima, starting from the basic hostel of Finca Primavera, as well as the trek out of the national park through jungle the following day.
