Allow us to show you the three original magical experiences of the coffee region of Colombia in one spot. Over this natural experience learn about the Wax Palm Tree, the tallest palm in the whole world that can reach between 60 and 70 meters. Hear the birds, touch the leaves and the grass, delight your eyes with the majestic mountains, and share your body and soul with mother nature.
Let your palate taste the delicious gastronomy of Salento with the typical dishes, enjoy a nice garlic trout, a bandeja paisa, a sancocho soup, or other delicious options to later continue with a great walk in the town seeing the architecture, the colors, and the handicrafts that the locals make with a lot of dedication.
To finish a perfect day, let us take you to a typical coffee farm to see in person how coffee is produced; how farmers plant the trees, take care of them, pick the best beans, wash, dry, and roast the beans to finally have an excellent cup of coffee with the best Colombian quality.

Best tour in Pereira and highlight of our trip!

5.00Jose is the most incredible and knowledgeable tour guide! This was my second tour with him having previously come to Colombia a few years ago, and was without doubt one of the reasons I decided coming back to Pereira! This time I came with my partner and this was one of the highlights of our Colombian trip! Jose has so much knowledge of the area and of the history, and even knew when to arrive so we didn't go to Cocoro Valley at the busiest time but beat the rush! We had a great time walking around Salento and the delicious lunch, but the highlight for us was the coffee farm experience! We got to learn so much about the process and even pick some beans and roast some! We even had enough time to go to Filandia too where Jose took us to a shop to buy the best coffee to take home! Jose is organised, professional and his knowledge of the areas really made this an incredible experience. It was very easy to organise the tour with him and he made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. His tours are also the most diverse and unique making them the best in the area! Next time we come to Colombia we will contact Jose again to help create another wonderful experience! I can only highly recommend booking one of his tours when going to Pereira! Thank you Jose!
100% recommendable

5.00We are a couple from Barcelona. On the recommendation of a Colombian friend we passed contact with Jose Cano who has this agency Aware. Communication from the beginning was easy via whatsup, we passed our preferences to the coffee axis and we were shaping, airport pickup, route by towns area, the next day Valle Cocora and coffee farm. I don't know how to describe this experience, because whatever I say I'll fall short. Jose is attentive, polite, with a lot of culture and worldliness, speaks French, English and Spanish and transmits his knowledge with simplicity and at the same time all with a lot of laughter and fun. With us he only did the Coffee Axis, but I know he does any tour of Colombia. An experience not to forget.
Great guide in Salento area

5.00One of the best tours we experienced whilst in Colombia 🇨🇴 Jose was our guide for 2/3 days. We visited Cocora Valley, Finlandia, Salento and the coffee experience. He is very knowledgeable about the area and very fluent in English which is a great plus if you do not speak Spanish. We recommend this guy for your next tour in the coffee region. Love from Malta 🇲🇹
