The departure will be from Pereira, Armenia, Salento or Armenia where our guide will meet you and give you all the recommendations for the day. Head to the entrance of the valley and appreciate the tall and stunning Wax Palm Trees: our national emblematic tree, that has environmental and popular importance to the region and the country. Hike through this magic valley and enjoy some of the best views of the world. Be sure to have your cellphone fully charged, we know you’ll want to take pictures of the amazing nature. And, if you suddenly get caught by the mists and winds, don’t worry about it, that’s how weather tends to be, and it will only make the landscapes look even more magical.

All three places were very interesting, and our driver was very good. Being in coffee country, we assumed we would see some coffee up close, but it really wasn't part of the itinerary. We did buy a fair amount of coffee during stops in the two towns, but it certainly was not the bargain we expected being close to the production areas.
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Cocora Valley was amazing. One of the best places we’ve seen. The palm trees are so impressive. It’s definitely worth visiting. Filandia and Salento are lovely towns with lots of souvenir shops. Our tour guide recommended to have lunch in Filandia at Helena’s where the food and cocktails were very delicious. You should definitely take this tour.
Jorge Castiblanco excellent tour guide. Octavio Gonzalez excellent driver . We recommend The Grand Colombia Tour for Tours . Excellent 100 % recommended!
We went on the excursion with Nicolai; he really is a 10/10 guide! We felt super comfortable during the whole trip. He recommended the best places to eat and told us the best stories. We would recommend any type of tour with him and would repeat it without a doubt!!
I found the guide and the driver to be excellent; they were very patient. I recommend it 100%. Very punctual. And the car was very comfortable.
Our guide Pedro was very kind and explained every detail related to this tour very well. The punctuality of the transportation to and from was excellent. Everything was very good. Thank you very much.
Excellent service on our tours to Thermal Springs Santa Rosa, Salento, Philandia and Cocora Valley. The drivers Albert and Octavio very professional and friendly. Nicolai super attentive and patient, plus it provides interesting information about the places.
The quindio is a very spectacular place and we loved the whole excursion totally recommended.
We have been delighted with Nicolai, he really has a gift for connecting and transmitting the best of Colombia. The tour has been super complete and has taken us to many places that we would not have known for free and has told us very interesting things about history, culture, gastronomy, legends... We are truly grateful to have known this part of Colombia from Nicolai. Thank you so much for everything 🙏
