Description 

This full day tour is ideal for those visitors on a tight schedule that wish to visit the highlights of the coffee region in one day.

You’ll be picked up from your accommodation by one of our expert drivers, and taken to visit the world renowned Cocora valley, famous for its 50-meter-tall wax palm trees that spread across a breathtaking natural landscape.

After hiking the breathtaking Cocora valley, famous for its 40-50-meter-tall wax palms, your private driver will take you into the Andean rainforest, through rivers and exuberant nature, until you reach the beautiful town of Salento. It is one of Colombia’s most popular destinations and the main spot in the Coffee region due to two fundamental reasons: the first, the beautiful and well-preserved architecture of Antioquian colonization and the second, it is the main gate to the Cocora Valley, which represents one of the most beautiful landscapes in Colombia.

You will stroll along its colorful and charming streets decorated with typical crafts of the Coffee Region while your private tour guide fills you on the history and traditions. Finally, you will go up to the viewpoint of Salento to enjoy the panoramic view of the coffee landscapes.

Finally, to end the coffee tour, you’ll visit one of our favorite coffee farms in Salento.

You’ll learn the entire coffee process while observing and interacting with the daily lives of coffee farmers in the Colombian countryside. There, you will be involved in every stage of the coffee process, and it culminates with tasting the coffee you have just harvested.
