Departure in the morning from Mérida by public transport towards San Rafael de Mucuchies. After about 2 hours on the road, we will reach the start of the path at more than 3000 meters above sea level. Beginning in a valley bottom where many farmers and cattle breeders work in semi-freedom conditions, we come across an old "Spanish" path made of large stones. We continue to climb to reach the Ventana, the highest point of our hike at 4180 meters above sea level. From here we enter to Valle del Tisure where the house of Juan Feliz Sanchez is located. We will have the night there at 3300 meters altitude after 6 to 7 hours of walking.

Accommodation: Night in a tent.

After our night in a tent inside the El Potrero refuge, we will discover the stone chapel not far from there. It's literally a work of art, amazing. We could have seen thousands of small chapels in Europe, this one is really very special...but I won't tell you more! We continue our way to El Castillo, another small mountain house before attacking the Blanquisal pass at 3800 meters above sea level. The climb is quite long but the small path is pleasant and winds on the sides of the mountain. On the descent we will look for our camp after 6 to 7 hours of walking and 3400 meters of altitude.

We are right in the bear sector. It's rare and difficult to see one, but this is the ideal area. You have to keep your eyes open and avoid making noise. I personally met one just a few months ago. We soon reach Los Granates which is a small farm that lives on livestock. We continue towards El Solano then we deviate for a final climb in the mountain to find our camp for the day at 3000 meters above sea level after 6 to 7 hours of walking.

The Mitisus also known as Santo Domingo dam will be our point of return to civilization. The landscape will change radically and the rainforest is making a comeback. The path being not used, it is blocked by vegetation in places. Your guide using a machete will open the path in front of you, don't get lost! Arrival at the dam after 6 to 7 hours of walking then return by bus to Mérida. Arrival in the early evening in the city center.

Accommodation: None.
