This is my third time visiting El Rey after 20 years, and I found everything as it was 20 years ago, which, considering it's an ecosystem conservation area, I'm only too happy about. Keep in mind that this is a 100% natural place. It's going to be hard to charge your cell phones, carry solar lights, and maintain internet access. There are insects, and you're forced to live outdoors with the bare essentials. If you don't like that, pass by. If you're well prepared and willing to enjoy the flora and fauna, it's the ideal place for nature and adventure lovers.

1. It is not that difficult to access as Lonely Planet suggests. If you stay in Las Lajitas (comfortable accomodations there available starting from Hotel Las Lajitas) you can fill up your tank and reach the park within 2 hours. 2. 4WD camioneta is highly recommended though it might be reachable by a regular car in a dry season (a couple of streams to be crossed on the way) 3. There is a park administrative centre a few kilometers after passing the park entrance. There is a free WiFi there (password is on the wall) and toilets. The weird thing was that the offices were open but no rangers were present at all (checked twice over 2 hours) 4. In a dry season do not waste your time heading to Cascada de Los Lobitos. There is hardly any water there. 5. The most interesting option was to turn left on the way to Cascada de Los Lobitos towards the beginning of Pozo Verde and Chorro de Los Loros tracks (see the maps - the latter trail seems to be more interesting). There is a small parking lot there but you _really_ need 4x4 car to reach this place (or if you stay there you can walk up there). If you are in hurry and have a regular car just stop earlier, walk and watch the birds or maybe even some deer. 6. There is a long Seccional Popayan route accessible by car which we did not try due to the lack of time and the warning that you need consult the rangers at the centre (who were non-existent). 7. Finally the ticks (garrapatas). First notice: it is said that they do not carry the diseases which is good. Then they climb from the ground rather than jumping from the trees like in Europe. Repellent do not seem to protect enough - wear long trousers and the way back back from the park stop somewhere, get undressed and check every inch of your body and clothes. It was pretty effective but the last smart hidden survivor was caught during the shower a few days later. 8. There is Pacha K'Anchay ecoside on the way to the park but the contact phone is to someone away who can only explain that the people on site do not know about the accomodation request unless you make it in advance. From the road it looks tidy but closed. 9. In a summary: unforgettable experience and we felt like having the whole park for ourselves (ok, sat phone loaned and a proper 4WD made we felt safer).

Great visit! Stay at Pacha K’Anchay on the way there, you won’t regret it! The parc is nice and everyone is very helpful. :)
