Itinerary
Pass by: Pick-up and drop-off point
From the very beginning you will easily appreciate tall and stunning Wax Palm Trees: our national emblematic tree, that has environmental and popular importance to the region and the country..
Cocora Valley, in Salento (one of the places that belong to the Coffee Triangle) is one of the few entrance areas to Los Nevados National Natural Park, an environmentally protected park of snowy peak mountains. Besides, the valley was considered as Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Salento and the Cocora Valley will show you their best natural spots along with their traditional coffee farms and the warm people who take care of the territory. It is a great combination. So, believe us when we say it is one of those Colombian natural treasures you can’t miss.

Absolutely BREATHTAKING worth every sweat drop. A must when visiting el Eje Cafetero. The hike to the observation points can get a bit steep at times but it’s SOOOO worth it. Highly recommended!
Must see in Columbia
Cocora Valley lives to its name, definitely is one of the most memorable places that we've visited. Hot Springs in Santa Rosa by the incredible water falls is also world class. Of course, our guide David Alvarez is the best tour guide, we've seen them all, we ever had. David is not just a tour guide who shows you around the attractions, he is determined to bring the best of Columbia to you. David's professionalism and knowledge of Colombian history are second to none, and he is very polite and courteous as well as the best travel companion one can have. I highly recommend David for your trip to Pereira, Cocora Valley and Santa Rosa.
