The Bush Divers Invitational: Colombia - Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta + October Celebrations

This weekend, we’re venturing into the tropical mountains… but not in Papua New Guinea, we’re on the other side of the world! A little-known corner of Colombia, the mountains of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta rise rapidly from the Caribbean Sea to peaks over 18,000 feet. It’s the highest coastal range in the tropics, one of the highest coastal ranges in the world, and home to many species found nowhere else. We’ll begin on the low plain to the south of the range, traversing its foothills before we take a series of ever-higher climbs up the face of the main range. We’ll stop in at SKDU La Diva on the Caribbean coast, take a breath, and make our final big climb all the way to the highest peaks, descending to our finish at SKDK La Ceiba.

4 landings in total, 206nm. The highest point we’ll pass over is around 19,000 feet. The shortest runway is 2252 feet.
