Itinerary
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. Hike through this magic valley and enjoy some of the best views of the world. Be sure to have your cellphone fully charged, we know you’ll want to take pictures of the amazing nature. And, if you suddenly get caught by the mists and winds, don’t worry about it, that’s how weather tends to be, and it will only make the landscapes look even more magical.
Pass by: 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.
Then we’ll head to the coffee farm. If you are one of those who are passionate about this drink, or even if you aren’t but you want to learn more about it, let us take you with the experts: the coffee growers. At the farm, you will meet a coffee expert that will walk you along the different areas of the farm in order to explain to you the phases coffee has: from the plantation, picking up the coffee cherries, taking out the bean, the washing, roasting, and grinding

Traveler reviews
What a day!
I have to say what a fantastic tour this was. We loved every part of it. But what really made it special was our tour guide, Juan Camilo. One of the best tour guides we’ve had. He’s personable, knowledgeable and just a guy you enjoy being around for the day. I didn’t get his name but our driver for the day was great as well. From riding on the back of an open Jeep through the Cocora Valley, to exploring the beautiful little town of Salento, to picking and making your own coffee, it was a great trip. Highly recommend!
Amazing.
We loved it. It's been an unforgettable day. Our guide has been Nicolai, and he has conveyed his passion for the Coffee Axis.
Awesome private cocora Valley tour with special coffee tour
We booked that private tour as a couple and found it quite pricey, but it was absolutely worth the money. Our guide, Juan Manuel was awesome. We never felt rushed. He took so much time to show us everything and always let us choose what we wanted to see or do. We went first to the beautiful cocora Valley and after that to the coffee tour. We went for a hike in the valley and juan manuel teaches us everything about it. After that we went to the coffee farm. It was the first coffee tour we did, which we made our own coffee from picking the beans 🫘 to rost, ground, and everything. We really enjoyed it. Thank you so much, juan manuel, to be our fantastic tour guide. Also, thank you for our driver and the coffee tour guide. We recommend this tour highly. We started at 8am (its better to start early bc to many people)
Incredible experience
Amazing day with Marcela and our driver! Learned so many amazing facts about the valley as well as during the coffee farm experience as well. Getting to travel in the back of the jeep for a bit was also so cool.
Fabulous tour
Fabulous tour. Our family was a broad age range (13-76) and Laura catered to our different interests and energy levels!
