Latest Check-Ins
Drove my Toyota 4runner with adjusted clearance all the way to Donde Mango. It took me 2 hrs to get there. If you want to to to Cerro Kennedy you could drive a 4x4 but I opted to hike. Past the hostel the hike is additional 1 hrs each way. The drive past hostel is a tough 4x4. Just hike instead of wearing or damaging your car.
I was not impressed with Cerro Kennedy as you cannot go all tge way to the top due to Military base. The views are obstructed by shrubs all along the hike. Photos of the hike past hostel & road conditions attached.
