In the middle of the road, you will stop at La Calera and taste the acclaimed arepas with red wine (a softer version of American coffee). When you arrive at the entrance of the national park, you will meet the local guide, who will accompany you along the walk. The native guides of this region have a deep knowledge of the flora and fauna of the region, with which they can highlight fascinating aspects of the route and tell you anecdotes related to indigenous cultures and traditional peasant communities in the area.
