Desde Melgar son 17 kms solo subida... excelente para entrenar y el parador en el Alto buena atención y ofrecen de todo... volveré con mi grupo XuAmigos xuaventureros Mtb

Two hours long by bike but it deserves the view! There's a good place on the top to drink and eat

Un hermoso lugar para admirar, el majestuoso paisaje que tiene Colombia. Desde este mirador. Si vas a ir recomiendo llevar un paraguas por qué el clima es cambiante.

Me encantó el lugar, muy bien decorado, tomarse algo y ver a lo lejos. No es la vista espectacular pero esta bien. Plan gratis, la via para llegar llena de huecos, pero se pueden esquivar. Queda via melgar-icononzo, no me gustó ir a Icononzo, es muy pequeño y el parque central bastante sucio y no tiene buen aroma porque ahi mismo queda la plaza,no hay nada que ver en mi opinión. Recomiendo El alto, lindo plan para parejas y familias

Un mirador natural con una espectacular vista a la ciudad de Melgar y Tolemaida, se avista en el horizonte la cordillera central. En las mañanas, muy temprano, se pueden ver los nevados del Ruiz, Tolima y Santa Isabel, al caer la tarde se puede disfrutar de un cielo teñido de naranja y y luego de la luna y las estrellas. Al lado un par de sitios para disfrutar de una buena bebida y picar algo de comer. FRESQUEATE y SALVAJE. Recomendados, en el alto de la cruz, puerta de entrada a Icononzo.

Tiene un paisaje hermoso. Las personas muy humildes y generosas. El servicio muy bueno. Recomiendo abrigo pues es un poco frio.
