Mountain Madness Goes To Colombia!

Men­tion trav­el to Colom­bia and images of drug deal­ers and kid­nap­pers are usu­al­ly con­jured up; not spec­tac­u­lar glac­i­er-clad peaks, alpine lakes, and quaint colo­nial vil­lages. With an aim to offer excur­sions into El Cocuy Nation­al Park, Moun­tain Mad­ness own­er Mark Gun­log­son, Pro­gram Direc­tor Jere­my Allyn and four oth­er trekkers and climbers will explore this area’s poten­tial for adven­ture trav­el. The team hopes to dis­pel the myth of dan­ger with trav­el in Colom­bia and open up a new cut­ting-edge trip, a well-known trade­mark of Moun­tain Mad­ness. Activ­i­ties will include moun­taineer­ing, trekking, rock climb­ing, and cul­tur­al exchange. The trip is sched­uled to depart on Feb­ru­ary 4^th.

Stay tuned for the team’s dis­patch­es to see how this trip will unravel!
