Púlpito del Diablo Nevado de Guicán, parque natural elCocuy — Attraction in Güicán

Ten out of ten; its a medium -long trail with aprox 18 kilometers 4 of them on plain sight and the rest all the way up and then the same one down to return, after 4200 mts of the 5120 mts we did that day; i started suffering so-called easy managing high symptoms ; hard suffocation after short steps and a sorta stomachache , so i did the final steps at my own rythm ; i strongly suggest get with the slight weight possible , so ur trip wont get any more difficult and you will enjoy the hours to hike -return with no additional weight, dont leave anything that does not belong there (trash), take as many pics as u want following the directions given , leave additional cash to the guiders and people there , the place can only improve and be conserved with ur...

Compared to the Grande Laguna hike this one was much more demanding in terms of fitness and technique. I'm active with lifting weights and tennis, 37, but hate everything cardio.
