Day 3: Today we will have to walk uphill in the morning till we reach the pass, 3.500 m. ,behind Pico Humboldt which will be our traverse altitude. Beautiful Páramo vegetation and weather permitting fabulous views down into the virgin Bum Bum valley. Humboldt seen from the south-east side. Camping at 3600m. Total walking time 6 - 8 hours. 

Day 4: The devil's saddle and then steep down to the valley of Aranguren, which seems to correspond to one of J.R. Tolkien's descriptions in his famous "Lord of the rings". Along another river we will reach lake Santo Cristo, Mérida´s largest mountain lake almost twice as large as Mucubaji lake. 7 - 9 hours walking. camping. 

Day 5: Time for trout fishing in the morning or relax before we walk to another small mountain village called Gavidia. Beautiful Páramo vegetation. Approx. 4 hours walking. We will be picked up and drive back to Mérida ( approx. 1 hour and a half driving)
