Customer Reviews
Los recomiendo 100%. Es una empresa muy confiable y fue una experiencia mágica. El guía fue muy amable, al igual que el conductor. Con ellos no van a tener ningún inconveniente.
Loved this trail! Not super hard, but still felt like an adventure. Walking through the páramo was wild — so quiet, full of weird plants and awesome landscapes. The lake is stunning, like something out of a painting. I even saw a deer! If you want a chill hike in the Andes with big nature vibes, this is it. Randes made it easy and fun.
I'm from Brazil and I love exploring new trails and wild places. The Laguna del Otún tour was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had in Colombia. The colors of the páramo, the silence around the lagoon, and the fresh mountain air made this a powerful moment for me. The Randes team was super professional and friendly — I felt like I was hiking with friends. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real nature and wants to feel alive!
The Laguna del Otún tour with Randes was exactly what I needed — a deep breath of pure nature. I’m from the UK and have hiked in many places, but this lagoon hidden in the mountains felt truly special. The trail was peaceful, the landscapes were stunning, and I felt like I was walking through a dream. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. If you're looking to disconnect and reconnect with nature, this tour is a must. One of the highlights of my trip to Colombia!
El tour a la Laguna del Otún fue una experiencia increíble que superó todas mis expectativas. El paisaje es de otro mundo, perfecto para desconectarse y respirar aire puro. Quiero agradecer especialmente a nuestro conductor, Andrés, quien fue muy profesional, amable y siempre estuvo pendiente de cada detalle para que estuviéramos cómodos. ¡Muy recomendado si amas la naturaleza y las buenas experiencias!
