Description of El Cocuy in Lonely Planet

Organized Tours

For hikes in the Choroní area (eg, Choroní to Chuao), look for guides in Puerto Colombia, Choroní or one of the small villages up tbe road. One of the good local guides for walks and bird-vatching is the English- speaking Virgilio Espinal, who commonly goes by "Vivi" (Contact him at 0243-991.11.06 or 0416-7473833, vivi@cocuy.org.ve [1], or just ask locals in Choroní or Puerto Colom- bia.) Knowledgeable about the park, he op- erates a mountain refuge known as ’El Cocuy’ ,near the village of Uraca, that serves as a base for tours ranging from two hours to several days and of any level of dificulty.
