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.”

“We had a good trip with our tour guide Steven. He had very good English and gave good trivia about Colombia on the drive to the waterfall and coffee farm.

At the coffee farm we got a new guide Juan, how told us about to local flowers at the plant and went though the complete process of coffee making endnig it with a taste of the coffee.”
