I was fortunate enough to meet Pablo of Guru talks in the city of Manizales. It is not easy to find guides in Manizales but I got lucky and found Guru walks and Pablo. Our time together was in January of this year. Besides doing city tours, Pablo is a geologist and loves nature. He does tours in the surrounding nature around Manizales. For our time together, we visited one of the biggest volcanos in Colombia, Nevada del Ruiz. It is an incredible site and over 14,000 feet in elevation. We stood exactly where the lava flow was in 1985, the last time of its eruption. The lava killed over 25,000 people within 2 hours of its eruption with the lava flowing down the valley. It was beautiful and magnificent to see. Pablo has climbed 15 volcanos in Colombia. He climbed the Nevada also. There is a climbing route in which you start at 3:00 am, many times in the rain, with ice storms as you get to the top. Needless to say, these are not great conditions, but Pablo is used to it. After viewing the volcano, we traveled down the mountain and completed a loop. The car ride was beautiful but, on a dirt, and bumpy road. Pablo does all kinds of nature tours/hikes. If this interest you, Pablo is a passionate and excellent guide.

There isn’t an itinerary listed so here it is: - Pick you up at your hotel - drive to the volcano - enter mud volcano + rinse off in nearby lake area (there are lockers, bathrooms and open showers) - visit salt ocean where the salt crystalizes - eat at delicious restaurant (chicken or fish) - drop off at hotel When you enter the mud volcano there are men there that will massage you (they do not touch you inappropriately and work on tips) You give your phone to a man who will take al the photos and videos you wish for tips It was an absolute wonderful tour, so much to do and a once in a lifetime experience! **I suggest not wearing a super nice bathing suit, my bathing suit turned from a nice red to a dark burgundy, a girl’s bathing suit was originally yellow and turned green from the mud** Bring sandals not sneakers or else you will be walking down to the lake on hard rocks Also bring small bills to tip the massage/phone guys, they live off of this!
