Access points vary. The park is reached from the city of Cali and towns in Valle del Cauca; from Cali, road travel (private car or bus) to trailheads and ranger stations is typical.

Tips for Visiting Las Hermosas National Natural Park #
- If hiking between humid forest zones and higher páramo, pack layered clothing-temperature and precipitation change quickly with elevation.
- Hire local guides for multi-day treks; the park is remote and routes cross sensitive ecosystems that require permits.
- Bring altitude-aware gear and acclimatize-some parts of the park reach high páramo and can feel chilly even when coastal Valle del Cauca is hot.
