Four hours of gentle climbs and descents including paths as well as blacktop roads.  Starting at the Ark, fincas, lakeshore, coffee forests, large towns, small villages and the foot of the volcano enchant the journey.
A four thousand foot drop tour also available from lake level to the coastal plane.
