Pance Trail: Experience Waterfalls, Wildlife, and Scenic Views
Join us on our Pance Trail Hike — a vibrant adventure through the lush foothills of the Andes. Hike beneath moss-covered trees, breathe in the scent of wildflowers, and listen to birdsong echoing through the forest. This biodiverse area hosts over 150 bird species, including toucans, motmots, and tanagers, along with colorful butterflies and fascinating reptiles.
Follow the trail alongside the crystal-clear Pance River, with natural pools and waterfalls perfect for a refreshing dip. As you ascend, soak in sweeping views of the surrounding jungle and the majestic Farallones de Cali. Giant ferns, orchids, and heliconias make the cloud forest feel like a scene from a dream.
Our bilingual guides will share stories of the region’s wildlife, plants, and conservation efforts. This hike is perfect for anyone seeking to connect with Cali’s extraordinary biodiversity — a peaceful, scenic, and deeply informative walk that brings you closer to nature.
