What to pack

Murillo is a cold-weather destination, so be prepared for low temperatures and humidity.

• Cold-weather clothing: Include a jacket or sweatshirt, hat, and gloves.

• Suitable footwear: Comfortable, non-slip shoes, preferably trekking shoes, are essential for trail walks.

• Sun accessories: Although it is cold, the solar radiation at high altitude is strong, so you will need sunscreen and sunglasses.

• Items for thermal baths: Don’t forget your swimsuit to enjoy the natural thermal baths.

• Cash: It is advisable to carry enough cash, as not all establishments accept electronic payments.

Additional Considerations

• Acclimatization: The town is located at a considerable altitude. If you come from a warm area, it is a good idea to spend the first day acclimatizing to avoid altitude sickness.

• Responsible Ecotourism: Help preserve these places by taking your own trash with you and following the guides' instructions. Some hot springs, such as those at El Sifón, ask visitors not to bring food to prevent contamination.

• Safety: Hiring experienced guides, such as those from Murillo Travel or Murillo Aventura, will ensure a safe and enriching experience, especially in the páramo.
