Good tour, the host was very friendly and interesting. We didn’t have anything else planned that day and he let us stay in the valley for a bit longer which was super nice.

The tour was super good, Juan Camilo solved all the doubts we had and gave us a lot of valuable information about the Valley and the Quindío region. The transfer was comfortable, my mom was dizzy easily but had no problem. Maybe she couldn’t do the hike because of health issues, but she was very happy having coffee in a restaurant. The schedule was respected from start to finish, there was always communication 😊

Pedro was an incredible guide for my Cocora Valley hike! He shared so much history and insight about the region, and made the whole experience both educational and fun. He was patient, funny, and caring; he’s always checking in to make sure I am doing okay. Thanks to him, the hike felt smooth and unforgettable.
Must-do in Salento!

I lucked out that this turned out to be private tour. My guide Juan was wonderful. His English is perfect, he's very knowledgeable - explained how a wax palm grows and its characteristics, amongst other fun facts too. I've learned so much on this hike/tour.
Very nice experience, absolutely worth it!
