Sierra Nevada Cocuy Colombia

After the estate of Los Herrera, walk in search of the longed snow, this route is route for 3 or 4 to 5 hours, depending on the pace you wear, where his tour acmopañado sees all the time by the crystal clear water flowing down from the mountains.
Walking around this time, we saw a part of where you see the top of the peak of Sugar Loaf, one of the most visited by tourists, where we camped.
The next day we packed up and set out for what would become for me the best experience of this odyssey, see snow, we walked to the top of the mountain ahead of us, we would be thinking about whether or not accepted by it, through the valley of frailejones, followed by this impressive climb a mountain of solid rock, sharp and exhausting, with great motivation to have him always in sight, glittering white fragment "snow." Successfully passing this mountain, one of the most difficult, was easier to reach our goal.
Little by little we acecábamos more snow on the edge, on the way, are painting markings on the rocks, made by local climbers who frequently visit the mountains, which showed the deterioration of the snow, is an experience that makes us awareness of pollution in the world.
And finally came the longed time to have our first contact with the snow, a unique and unforgettable, cold and untamed paradise, only to find out was whether we would be accepted by the mountain, why I say that accepted different people I know who are mountain climbers say that decides if someone can upload or not, people are not affected by the height and he gives "ciroche" or "altitude sickness" and therefore are forced to lower it.
Finally, we climbed to approximately 5350 meters above sea level, from large cracks, small and very great, having you respect the mountain and knowing that we are inferior to it and continue to be accepted.
