At the moment, the best bet would seem to be to go from Baranquilla to Valle Dupar (by air), then to Pueblo Bello (by bus), then to San Sebastian (God knows how), and then higher yet (by mule) to stay with the local indians.  (This is essentially an approach to the Sierra Nevada from the South.)

In a couple of years, there may be an easier way.  The Colombian authorities are planning to build a new television relay station on Pico Kennedy, another and higher mountain of the Sierra Nevada.
