Cocora Valley Tour: See Colombia's Giant Palms!

Overview

The Cocora Valley Shared Tour from Salento offers a chance to see Colombia's famous wax palm trees. This tour starts in Salento, where a guide will meet the group and take them to the Cocora Valley. The ride to the valley takes about 20 minutes in a Jeep Willys or a Duster van, depending on what's available.
In the Cocora Valley, people can walk around the Bosques de Palmas reserve. This is a great place to take pictures and enjoy the tall wax palms. If visitors are lucky, they might even see a condor flying overhead. The path in the valley is uneven and goes up and down hills, so it's a good idea to wear sturdy shoes. The weather can change during the day, so bringing a light jacket or raincoat is also a good idea.
The tour includes round-trip transportation from Salento, a local guide who speaks both English and Spanish, medical insurance, and entrance to the Cocora Valley (Palm Forests). It does not include any activities that are not listed. After spending time in the valley, the same transportation will take everyone back to Salento. If people have any questions, the guide will help them before or during the tour.
