★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 202 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $157

Hike Cocora Valley, learn Colombia’s coffee process, and taste fresh coffee on a private 8 to 10-hour tour from Salento.

“The tour was excellent and exactly what we were expecting. We took the 7am tour which was perfect as we had the Cocora Valley almost for ourselves (my gf, the guide and me) and could therefore enjoy the hike to the three viewpoints very much. Our guide Alejandro was very knowledgeable about the area, being from this region himself. Moreover he had also deep knowledge in the coffee making process, having worked for almost 6 years for a coffee company. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to hike the Cocora Valley and has an interest in Coffee.”

“Visiting Cocora Valley and Salento was an unforgettable experience. Cocora Valley is absolutely breathtaking. The towering wax palms and rolling green hills were beautiful but the birds and wildlife were also unique and vibrant. Our guide Jhon was phenomenal. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about Cocora, he also knew everything about the coffee region and was able to provide information the coffee guide didn't even know. Also, he is a biologist and had an uncanny ability to recall every species of bird just by their calls. He could also call them (people surrounded us to witness this). He helped us locate rain ponchos in town, and some delicious pastries…”
