Disconnection in the middle of tropical wet forest

I found it a super interesting tour in the middle of nature by the Quindio River and waterfalls. Tropical forest of beautiful mist. Excellent guide and lover of your work

A waterfall combined with amazing history.... yes please!

I absolutely adore waterfalls and history, therefore, I try and seek them both out everywhere I go and I must say this tour did not disappoint. Pedro, my tour guide, was so informative, knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Salento and Colombia in general. I learned so much! 10/10 recommend!
