The Climate Change Trail is a beautiful route through moorlands and glacial moraines near the northern area of Nevado Santa Isabel. This trail will lead us to an incredible area of super-paramo and volcanic slabs, a product of the loss of the Conejeras glacier 2 years ago, which left us with a rocky and lunar landscape that tells the story of an extinct snow-capped mountain and the impact of climate change on the high Colombian mountains.
