Pure nature and many colours

My guide Eduard not only knew a lot about the area but about all of Colombia. He also explained a lot to me about the indigenous peoples of Colombia, the flora and fauna here and the differences between the different climates. The day was very fun and educational, I really enjoyed the nature in Valle Cocora and the many colored houses in Salento and Filandia. In Salento I could even see an ancient indigenous tomb. All in all, highly recommended:)
