Upon arrival, embark on a guided walk along the valley’s trails, surrounded by mountains, streams, and a dreamlike landscape. Learn about the biodiversity of the Cocora, the native flora, and the ecological importance of the valley.
After the hike, enjoy a typical lunch at a local restaurant near the valley, savoring traditional dishes such as garlic trout, sancocho, or mountain rice, accompanied by a spectacular view of the Cocora Mountains.
Next, return to Salento and continue your tour to a traditional coffee farm. Learn everything about the coffee process, from the manual planting and harvesting of the beans to the drying, roasting, and artisanal grinding.
