点评:We had a brilliant three days with Paramo Trek in May 2025. We chose the Cocora to Otún valley trek because we wanted to experience the different ecosystems the Andes support, and we were not disappointed. The first day took us up through the bromelia, orchids and toucans of the cloud forest. The second day led us up into the eerie world of the paramo, and over 4,000 metres. Our final day was down through layers of tropical forest and across brimming rivers. The walking is challenging - with an ascent of 1800 metres on the first day - but doable (we're a moderately fit couple in our 50s). The paths are often muddy, rocky, and steep. Accommodation in local farmhouses is basic, but the welcome is warm. Our guide, Mafe, was superb. Her English is fluent. She is a font of knowledge on local fauna and flora, and kept us safe and on track. This trek is not just about the walk; its about engaging with the landscape, its creatures and guardians. Mafe helped us see that. Service from the whole team was excellent. There may be cheaper trekking companies in the region, but we doubt there is a better one.
翻译:2025 年 5 月,我们在 Paramo Trek 度过了精彩的三天。我们选择了从 Cocora 到 Otún 山谷的徒步旅行,因为我们想要体验安第斯山脉所支持的不同生态系统,而结果并没有让我们失望。第一天,我们穿过了云雾森林的凤梨科植物、兰花和巨嘴鸟。第二天,我们进入了奇异的 paramo 世界,海拔超过 4,000 米。最后一天,我们穿过了层层热带森林和奔腾的河流。步行很有挑战性——第一天上升了 1800 米——但还是可以做到的(我们是一对 50 多岁、身体素质中等的夫妇)。道路通常泥泞、多岩石且陡峭。当地农舍的住宿很简陋,但受到热情的欢迎。我们的导游 Mafe 非常棒。她的英语很流利。她对当地的动植物知识渊博,保证了我们的安全和正常重要的是与这片土地、这里的生物和守护者互动。Mafe 帮助我们看到了这一点。整个团队的服务都非常棒。该地区或许有更便宜的徒步旅行公司,但我们怀疑没有比这更好的了。
