Touring Salento and the Cocora Valley
Tours around the region
The small towns of the coffee region are places full of charm. Salento, in particular, has a unique warmth. It is full of craft shops, picturesque cafés and restaurants with doors and windows that color the streets of the town.
Afterwards, and after a 20-minute drive, you will reach the Cocora Valley. An enchanting place with the tallest wax palms in the world. A green paradise where you can choose to walk for two or four hours.
The afternoon ends in Filandia, another city full of balconies and a much calmer and cooler place. Here you can learn how the baskets used to collect the coffee are made.
Then visit the unmissable viewpoint, a 27 m (88 ft) high structure that offers a panoramic view of the entire coffee region. On a clear day you can also see the "Nevado del Tolima".
