The objective was to characterize physical activity in the guides of Nevado del Ruiz. A descriptive, prospective and integrated study was conducted in 18 guides with ages between 20 and 61 years, physical activity questionnaires, hygiene-preventive habits and stages of change were applied. The analysis of the results showed that 44% are sedentary and 55.6% are active, 88.9 uses sun protection, 61.1% always implemented hydration and in non-protective habits 77 8% does not palpate the heart rate. In the stages of change in behavior in higher percentage in preparation. It is concluded that the guides are in a moderate level of physical activity with an average >800 MET /minute/week and comply with the recommendations to perform physical activity according to frequency, duration and intensity. Finally, it is necessary to carry out didactic strategies for the appropriation of habits / protective practices for health, including general warm-up, return to calm and palpation of the heart rate.
