If you enjoy pushing your limits and proving that you're anything but average, then this the tour for you!
Climbing "Cerro Tusa" is not for the faint of heart, it is for those who love to conquer and challenge themselves in every opportunity they have in life, and discover their true human potential.
"Cerro Tusa" holds a profound historical significance as an ancient sacred site where the "Sinifaná" tribe once conducted worship ceremonies. In alignment with the timeless tradition of ancient civilizations, our ancestors recognized the spiritual potency of elevated points, denying the necessity to build pyramids. Instead, they revered the natural magnificence of colossal mountains like "Cerro Tusa", using these majestic peaks as sacred conduits to connect with their gods.
So this is not only a personal challenge to conquer the tallest natural pyramid in the world, it is a profound connection with your innerself and this mysterious universe.

Cần Quan Tâm
1) Our first stop is the most famous restaurant of Medellín, just a few minutes outside the city, known for having the best "empanadas" and "pasteles de pollo" of all the region! We'll enjoy a good typical breakfast to start getting ready and pumped up with energy to climb Cerro Tusa, we're going to need a lot of calories! *Cerro Tusa holds a profound historical significance as an ancient sacred site where the Sinifaná tribe once conducted worship ceremonies.

2) After an enjoyable one-hour drive through beautiful landscapes, traditional farms, gigantic mountains and all the natural beauty of Medellín's countryside, we'll reach our main destination—the town of Venice where Cerro Tusa is located. We'll park at a cozy local farm and take a moment to warm up and get ready for our adventure, we'll take a pleasant 45-50 minute walk (1 km) along natural paths that will lead us to the base of Cerro Tusa, where the real challenge begins. The ascent to Cerro Tusa is level 5 (on a scale of 1 to 5) with a 45°-70° inclination the whole way up, sometimes we have to use hands and feet to get through some sections, grabbing roots, trees and rocks to help you go up, so it is recommended to use closed shoes with very good grip, maybe a hiking stick (if not, we'll find one on the path), lots of concentration and physical resistance, is the challenge of a lifetime ! Our price is the summit and its incredible 360° views.

Awesome Day Trip from Medellin

5.00This was a great experience and well-coordinated with the travel company. We thought this was the best and most convenient way to hike the pyramid and return to Medellin in one day. The breakfast provided was also very good. The hike was challenging, but there were ropes all along the steep parts of the trail which made it accessible. Without these, it would have been much harder. It is important to note that the tour company did not mention that you need gloves to use the ropes. The guides told us we needed them before we started the hike up. We purchased some along the trail and they were cheap, but this is good to know for future guests. Overall, it was an awesome experience!
Cerro Tusa Experience

5.00I had used the Andes Adventures on 4 separate tours last year in 2023 and all were perfectly planned and executed. So when I returned to Medellin in 2024 there was no question of who I was going to. Daniel and his team of experienced tour guides are exceptional at what they do and they’ll ensure you see everything you came to experience. I had the same wonderful experience when hiking Cerro Tusa. The driver was on time, talkative and friendly. The mountain tour guide was motivational and kind while encouraging you up the mountain. This hike however is not for the novice hiker. I have years under my belt and at 7,000 feet up at 65 degree angle and the Andes heat and altitude it was a struggle. But the view and accomplishment of reaching the summit makes it all worth it.
Daniel Giraldo rocks!

5.00We got into Medellin on Sunday night and had a tour scheduled with Daniel the following morning. He met us at our hotel and drove to a huge market, full of fruits, vegetables, baked goods and crafts. The we took the famed cable cars up into the barios, the whole time Daniel was filling us in on Medellins' and Colombias' history. Daniel has a welath of knowledge about both and is a kind and perceptive guy to boot. He was helpful in working out some logistical problems for us as well. Highly recommend!
