I enjoyed this tour very much. My tour guide, Juan Camilo, introduced many things about plants and geometry to me. We discussed cultural issues. Chill and informative. I would like to recommend this tour.

Great Combination Tour of Armenia highlights!

Combined both Cocora Valley and Coffee Farm tour, and it went super well. Cocora Valley guide was so great, part historian, anthropologist, ecologist, etc. We learned alot, and it was stunning. I felt like I was in the heavens. We had a 90 min break in between and could roam around Salento (super charming, touristy town) and then went to the Coffee Farm. The tour guide was great, big focus on the production of coffee from bean to cup. It was local and small, so felt very lucky to have had this experience. The whole thing was excellent and worth the price.
