  If you are traveling by car, head towards Manizales from your current location in Los Nevados National Natural Park. From Manizales, follow the signs towards the 'Reserva Ecologica Rio Blanco'. The reserve is located about 15 kilometers from the city center. Take Route 60 and then turn onto Ruta Nacional 29. There might be a small toll along the way, so keep some cash handy. Once you see the signs for the reserve, follow them until you reach the entrance. Be prepared for narrow and winding roads, and ensure your vehicle is in good condition for mountainous terrain.

The bus ride will take approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Make sure to confirm with the bus driver or conductor that they are stopping at the Reserva Ecologica Rio Blanco, as some buses may have different routes. Once you arrive at the entrance of the reserve, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the visitor center. The bus fare is typically around 4,000 to 6,000 COP (Colombian Pesos).
