Journey to Colombia's LAST Glacier by 4X4 | Overland Travel Film

El Cocuy National Park.

I’ve always wanted to visit a Glacier. Since the dream of this trip arose. I thought it would be in Patagonia, not right here, near the equator in Colombia.

A cowboy once told us that ice is the most powerful force on earth. Seeing how millions of years of frozen water has moved and shaped this landscape, I think he was right.

Getting to the Northern tip of the Andes to see Colombia’s last and only Glacier would be a test and challenge of its own.

From our location we’re about 225 kms away, and the road looks insane.

We know it’s going to be an adventure just to get to the National park.

Colombia is working hard to increase its tourism industry. There used to be a 6 day trek through the East side of the park, but due to complications we learned about between the indigenous, and the government wanting to restore the land it’s no longer open. Additionally, these are the fastest melting glaciers on Earth. So if you want to see them, now is the time.

El Cocuy feels like a hidden gem of Colombia. The route to get here from the West is worth the time alone. It’s the first glacier we’ve been to, and it exceeded our expectations, especially the difficulty of the trek in the altitude. This country is full of surprises and amazing things to discover, and that’s exactly what we’re here to experience. I hope by now we’ve earned your subscription.

These are the fastest melting glaciers on earth, so if you want to see them, now is the time.
