Crested Outdoors: Where Ordinary People Become Andean Adventurers
#ClimbMOUNTAINS
How This Works
You’re not buying a tour. You’re investing in your own capability.
Bringing your family?
Kids as young as 10 have summited with us: Secret? We:
- Turn scree slopes into treasures hunts
- Replace “are we there yet?” with “let’s find the next viewpoint!”
New to mountains?
Good. We specialize in turning “I can’t” into “Holy shit, I did it!” through:
- Gear clinics
- Altitude training that won’t kill your vacation
Already climbing?
We’ll hurt you (safely). Think:
- Glacier traverses o Tolima that’ll test your technique
- Multi-day traverses in los Nevados where condors judge your life choices

No Cookie-Cutter Adventures
We’ve guided:

My motto is to guide the walker through immersive experiences in the countryside, exploring paths, inhabitants, and biogeographical moments, reconstructing memory about a tangible present in Nature.

Mountain and Hiking Guide
My hikes began in 2010 when I discovered the Andean mountains and their life zones. From there, I started learning more to become a guide and teach about wildlife, flora, climate, and cultural surroundings during the tours.
