Full Day Valle Del Cocora

Full Day Valle Del Cocora

Leave early-morning for "Cocora Valley". It makes part of National Natural Park "Los Nevados", the ideal place to admire the “Quindian wax-palm”, Colombia’s national tree, reaching an amazing 60mts-height. A number of bird-species live here, particularly hummingbirds and endemic yellow-eared or palm parrot.

Upon arrival, either hiking or horseback-riding, head into the cloud-forest to enjoy the biodiversity of flora and fauna. Cross Quindio River walking-along an ecological pathway through the tallest wax-palms in the world. Stop at a trout farm and enjoy a traditional smoked-trout meal.

Continue 10km towards traditional Salento; enjoy a city-tour through ‘Bolivar Square’ with its colorful balconies, "calle real", handicrafts shops and Cocora viewpoint.
