Experience the reserve

Book a hike

Every guided hike in the reserve always goes with a professional tour guide. When the group grows, a local guide is added. This is not red tape: it is part of how we protect each route's carrying capacity.

Every guided hike at Santuario Chiquito always goes with a professional tour guide — it is required, without exception. When the group is larger than 8 people, one additional local ("baquiano") guide is added for every 8 more people — the scheme scales with the group, with no fixed cap.

A professional tour guide is required on every guided hike, for any group size.
From 8 people on, one additional local ("baquiano") guide is added for every 8 more people, besides the professional tour guide — with no group limit.
High-mountain traverses to the snow-capped peaks and night, sunrise or sunset routes have a different guide rate (fixed or with a surcharge) — see the details on each route's page.
Self-guided trails (3 routes) do not require a guide.

If you are a travel agency, the preferential B2B rate is on the Partner Agencies page.

It is not only about safety: it is part of the conservation model. Each route has a defined carrying capacity, and the guides are the ones who make sure a group respects it on the ground. On trails that use disused historic dirt roads — the ones suitable for school groups — that capacity is higher because the route already existed and does not mean opening a new path in the páramo.
