Description

Located in the department of Tolima, La Carbonera, also known as the 'Wax Palm Forest,' is the densest wax palm forest in Colombia. Tucked away in the central mountain range of the Colombian Andes, in the heart of the cloud forest, this place offers a breathtaking view, perfect for those looking to connect and unwind with nature. You can only make the ascent in a 4x4 vehicle or Jeep Willys, which makes it a less visited, quieter, and more peaceful destination. If you're a nature lover, this tour is designed for you. DESCRIPTION: We'll start the tour by vehicle until we reach the El Cielo farm, located at over 3100 meters above sea level, which is halfway to La Carbonera. Clemente will welcome us with a delicious coffee and give us an introduction to the fascinating cloud forest. Here, you'll have the chance to plant a wax palm or native tree, helping to reforest and transform the land. After this experience, we'll continue the tour, passing by the line that marks the highest point and division of the departments of Quindío and Tolima. Then, we'll descend to La Carbonera at 2900 meters above sea level. There, we'll enter the trails of one of the densest wax palm forests in Colombia. We'll walk to the Tochecito waterfall and, finally, we'll enjoy lunch at the traditional Colombian farm 'Doña Marleny,' who will surprise us with her delicious seasoning and the menu of the day. At the end of this natural and unforgettable experience, we'll begin our return to Salento, taking with us the memories of a naturally unforgettable experience.
