Montaña para Todos (Mountains for All ) is a program created by FINESEC and inspired by the initiative of professional mountaineers Carla Pérez and Topo Mena. Its purpose is to share the mountain experience with people whose mobility is limited by physical or mental health conditions.

Exploring the páramo and the high Andes alongside people with diverse abilities becomes an incredibly enriching experience for everyone on the outing — participants, families, volunteers and guides alike.
