A somewhat difficult trail due to technical ascent and descent for a few kilometers, and most of the path not being marked/kept in any way. It's not particularly challenging physically; can probably be done in a single day if you're in good enough shape. My suggestions for this trail:
1. A portable water filter (or purification tablets).
2. An external charger for your phone (GPS/Navigation) wtih at least two charges.
3. A machete. The trail closes in several places and you may need to open the undergrowth to be able to pass through.
4. Read the information on the waypoints before you attempt this trail.
You can start the adventure from Sonsón and walk down the main road towards Nariño, but I chose to skip that part since I prefer to avoid main roads when hiking with my dogs. You can also walk back from Tasajo to Sonsón to close the loop.
Only twice I walked through private property. This can be avoided, but as long as you are respectful you should have no problem.

A small bridge over a creek which provides a nice, refreshing water source. Un pequeño puente sobre una quebrada que provee agua refrescante.
Try to walk on the sides of the path (grass) to avoid muddy soil.
Trate de caminar a los lados del sendero (hierba) para evitar terreno pantanoso.
This takes you into what I assume is private property. You can probably walk around it by following the road.
Esto lo lleva a lo que asumo es propiedad privada. Probablemente se puede evitar siguiendo el camino.
There isn't a properly marked path here. Just try to aim for the creek (next waypoint) or even for high ground (next waypoint after that).
No hay un camino marcado acá. Intente caminar hacia la quebrada (próximo waypoint) o hacia terreno elevado (waypoint después de ese).
You can see I was trying to find my way around here. Just aim for higher ground, straight up.
Acá se nota que estaba buscando el sendero. Simplemente apunte a terreno elevado, derecho hasta arriba.
Nice spot to pitch a tent or two. Someone set a campfire. Please be careful with open fires. Take your garbage with you, don't be a jerk. This is the last spot to get water before heading back down. There is no water at the summit.
Buen sitio para montar una tienda o dos. Alguien hizo una fogata. Por favor tenga cuidado con el fuego. Llévese su basura, no sea un imbécil. Este es el último punto para encontraer agua antes de volver a bajar. No hay agua en la cima.
Nice shaded canopy. This is a somewhat technical ascent. You will use your hands to grab onto roots probably. Please do not damage the trees.
Agradable sombra de árboles. Esta es un ascenso parcialmente técnico. Probablemente usará las manos para agarrarse de raíces. Por favor no dañe lls árboles.
Tiny footprint tents or bivy only. I set up a 1P tent here and barely had space.
Sólo para carpas pequeñas o bolsas de dormir externas. Monté una carpa de una persona y a duras penas tenía espacio.
The wooden ladder was in acceptable shape in October 2018. You don't need ropes or equipment to climb, but it would make it safer. After the ladder you also have to grab onto some rocks and navigate upward through muddy terrain. Be careful.
La escalera estaba en estado aceptable en Octubre del 2018. No se necesitan cuerdas o equipo para subir, pero haría es ascenso más seguro. Después de la escalera se deben usar algunas rocas para el ascenso y caminar por terreno pantanoso. Tenga cuidado.
The view is just incredible from up here. There isn't much to do really except look around and walk for a bit more. There seems to be a water source about 1.5km due East, but I did not want to explore since we were running out of daylight. The terrain doesn't seem to lend itself well to trekking (highly irregular and not flat). Had I made it to the top earlier I would have loved to walk around more. You can probably camp here since it's mainly open space.
La vista es simplemente increíble desde arriba. No hay mucho por hacer excepto mirar y caminar un poco. Aparentemente hay una fuente de agua a 1.5km hacia el Este pero no quise explorar más ya que nos quedaba poca luz de día. El terreno no se presta para senderismo (altamente irregular y no plano). De haber llegado a la cima más temprano me hubiera gustado caminar un poco más. Probablemente se puede acampar acá dado que es espacio abierto principalmente.
My GPS was all over the place on the way down. Just follow the same trail until you get to this spot.
Mi GPS estaba mal calibrado en la bajada. Simplemente siga el mismo camino hasta este punto.
This can also be used on the way up with a minor detour. It's the largest space available after entering the forest, excluding the summit itself.
Este sitio también se puede usar de subida con una pequeña desviación. Es el espacio más grande disponible después de entrar al bosque, sin contar la cima como tal.
Turn left, continue down. There may be a water source under the rock.
Voltee a la izquierda, continúe hacia abajo. Puede haber una fuente de agua bajo la roca.
