Great tour, no complaints!

Great tour of the cócora valley. Everything went very smoothly. Juan was a great guide and helped us manage all the logistics, and was able to tell us a great deal about the cócora valley and its nature as we hiked through it. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

Cocora

We visited Cocora to admire the giant palm trees because a friend had recommended it to us. The site is wonderful, so beautiful and well-maintained. She also told us that it looked a bit like an amusement park and unfortunately it's true. Way too many people for Instagramming!!! It's a bit of a shame, but fortunately our guide was very interesting and passionate. He explained many things to us about the site and the region, and we were also able to chat about Colombia. Can be done as a family with children.

It is a very beautiful place, the experience is incredible… the only issue was a slight delay in the departure time, but it was a very pleasant tour.
