You climb out of Pereira before sunrise; the bus threads coffee valleys and then points uphill as the sky sharpens into alpine light. The air thins and the volcanic cone of Nevado del Ruiz rises above grass-and-shrub páramo, a pale crown against a wide Andean sky. Along the route the driver stops at Aguacerales and Arenales, then you walk through lunar-like rock fields at Valle Lunar and the brooding cliffs of Valle de las Tumbas before reaching viewpoints near 4,450 meters.
