Next, you'll take a trip into the lush Cocora Valley and a guided tour of the Wax Palm Forest. This valley is spectacular by itself, but when combined with the forest filled with the tallest wax palms in the world, it becomes an almost spiritual experience.

5.00Gustavo our guide and Aljandro our driver were a great team. We enjoyed the tour especially the part in the rainforest. Gustavo is very knowledgeable and explained everything regarding flowers, wildlife and nature. He is also a very friendly guy. The lunch he recommended was great. The Coffe tour at Luger Coffee farm was also very interesting especially the privat experience to go into the plantation and roasting our own coffee! Thanks Gustavo!
Exciting, comfortable and definitely worth it

5.00We enjoyed our trip with Richard so much! He picked us up on his car right in front of our hotel, and we had a private ride for the whole day. And the day was full of wonders :) We visited Cocora Wax palms Valley (the views are amazing), a waterfall (with two top guides :), we had a delicious pizza for lunch, and after all - coffee tour in a charming farm. Everything was beyond our expectations. Thank you, Richard!
A greatest place to visit around Salento!!

5.00We walked the short loop in the park, which was a magical experience. Our guide Andres told us lots about the history of the region. It was very educative. After Cocora we headed back to Salento for a delicious traditional lunch. We had a wonderful time hearing all insider tips of our guide. Of course after a good meal you take a good cup of coffee. In Finca El Ocaso we made our own cup of coffee. Interesting way to learn about the number 1 drink of the world. We concluded with Tejo. Soon realizing we weren't good at it, but had lots of fun. Trip totally recommended!
Great one day tour from Salento
