An unforgettable experience of Cocota, Sorento and the coffee tour

Very good tour! 👌 The tour we did in Cocora, Sorento and the coffee experience was simply impressive. From the beginning, everything was very well organized, and on time. I want to highlight especially our guide, Jorge, who made the experience even more enriching. His knowledge was amazing; he explained in detail everything about the flora and fauna of the region, the history of Sorento and Cocora, as well as the geography of Colombia. We even learned about Bogotá, the coast and other cultural and natural aspects of the country. The coffee tour ☕ was also very good. A very cozy coffee farm.

Beautiful valley of cocora

Great visit. Jorge is a very friendly guide. He accompanied us all day, answered all our questions and organized a perfect schedule for the day. The Cocora Valley is beautiful and the visit to the coffee plantation instructive.

Loved the tour

The tour went excellent, the Guide went by me at the scheduled time, the visit to the cafetal and the coconut valley were the ones I liked the most, also when I was arriving by car to each place included the Guide gave me very good information is a person with a lot of knowledge, the boy did frankly very well. It is a long but very interesting tour, it is worth it as it has the most important in my personal review to see when you go to Salento and if you do not have much time this perfect.
