Salento & Cocora Valley Tour
Salento & Cocora Valley Tour
At 9 am, we'll see you at the Bolivar Salento Square in central Salento. We'll hop into the jeeps and set off for the Cocora Valley. During the journey, we'll discuss this region's coffee traditions and the different plant species we'll encounter.
We'll stop at a viewpoint in the mountains and look out at a breathtaking panoramic view of the Nevados National Park. You'll be sure to notice the large amount of wax palms found here! Did you know that the Cocora Valley is home to the national tree of Colombia? We'll discuss this and some more fun facts about this plant. As we drive through the valley in our jeep, we'll look out for the flowers surrounding us and the birds flying overhead.
Afterwards, we'll return to Salento and take a tour of the city's historic centre. We'll explore its colourful façades and balconies filled with flowers, which have become an icon of this municipality in Quindío. In addition, we'll discuss how Salento came to be as well as its key historical moments.
Next, we'll have a delicious traditional lunch consisting of trout and patacón (twice-fried plantain).
It'll then be time to say our goodbyes at 3 pm in central Salento.
