Useful way to see all three areas in a short day. Competent and friendly young driver, but he had limited English and left us to explore on our own. It worked out fine and we were happy to see both towns and the Valley. The scenery was spectacular.
Our driver was really amazing, friendly and service oriented. He showed quite some flexibility on the itinerary since we decided to make some changes to the original plans. He knew the surroundings very well, was punctual and had a good quality car at our disposal. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
The area is beautiful however there are lots of people. The only porker I had was that our tour guide did not explain anything
The word “tour” is very misleading. In reality this is transportation provided to 3 locations and the driver asks you to text him when you are ready to move from one place to the next. Our driver was very nice but his English was limited and he gave us almost no information about the places we visited. If you just need a private car to drive this from place to place this is fine. If you want a real tour with an English speaking guide who provides information about the places visited, look elsewhere….
The tour is a private car with a driver, though the driver was very nice he did not provide us with much information and we had to go find him when we were ready to leave Cócora. Apparently he had not parked in the designated area and the locals in the area did not appreciate it. We did, however, appreciate his flexibility. Our toddler had enough after Salento so we stayed there a bit longer and skipped Filandia. It’s not a tour as much as it’s a hired driver.
Would highly recommend taking a day and doing the Cocora, Salento and Filandia tour. All the places were beautiful. The tour is private and flexible to meet your needs. You get to choose how much time you'd like to spend in each place. The guide is really great and personable guy also!
I don't recommend this tour at all. I booked it 2 weeks before my trip and I decided to pick this company because of the "guided tour in ENGLISH!". Once I arrived in Armenia - Colombia, I had to contact the phone number I saw in the link and this person said that he was too busy and that he never saw the payment. The payment was taken from my credit card the same day I booked the tour. After 3 hours of waiting, he contacted me saying that he was going to send someone to pick us up and that he could accommodate the time according to our preference (how nice). The next day, I was contacted by another person, (transportation company), and he said he was going to be our guide for the day. After speaking with him, he mentioned he didn't have details of anything, he also said he was a third company involved and he said he didn't speak English. I tried to contact the person in charge several times, but he never responded to my phone calls, and he just texted me saying that he had accommodated the tour based on our time preference and he was trying to help, for my perspective he was trying to make his problem my problem now! He never called me, just texted. I feel I've been ripped off, I'm completely disappointed and I need my money to be reimbursed ASAP. Tripadvisor is a globally recognized company, this is not the first time I use this website and I never had a problem before, I'm confident I won't have issues with Tripadvisor taking care of my case and reimbursing my money ASAP. Thanks
The guide doesn’t accompany you. He brings you to awesome place like Cocora, salento, filandia and let you explore
My driver (Albeiro Velez) was incredible. He gave me great advice during my trip and made way better
To know the Cocora valley and all the natural landscape, the central plaza in Salento and the beautiful shopping places, the amazing people and the wonderful earth.
It was great to have someone tell me about the areas and what I can do, yet have my own independence and walk around in my own pace. It was simple, but it’s just what I like, to be on my own while still having someone tell me about the areas we visited. I enjoyed it and would recommend.
Juan Manuel is a super friendly person and the tour becomes very enjoyable. Fully recommended this tour.
No tenía guía, solo el conductor me acompañaba y el tour incluía un guía turístico. Prácticamente pagué por el transporte y ya.
Muy buena la atencion por parte de Juan Manuel y conductores como Silvio y Verutd hicieron ameno el paseo, sin embargo el tour solo cubre el transporte, no incluye ni almuerzos ni entrada a los diferentes parques dentro del valle del cocora, sin embargo nos esperaron y nos llevaron a lugares muy buenos en cada pueblo
Fue una maravillosa experiencia, nuestro recorrido fue muy ameno, conocimos y la pasamos muy bien, lugares maravillosos como el Valle del Cocora y los municipios de Salento y Finlandia fue excepcional, definitivamente fue un recorrido que volveríamos hacer, muy recomendado.
I loved visiting Cocora, Salento and Filandia! Our guide, Gustavo, was friendly and gave us lots of interesting information about the area. It was a full day that allowed us enough freedom to explore for ourselves. I highly recommend this excursion during your stay!
It was a wonderful experience. Beautiful landscapes.... Colors wildlife calms it On the other hand, climbs with children to be done possibly on horseback. Think about the right shoes....
The whole tour is very cute, the municipality of Salento typical constructions, the transfer by Jeep Willys to the Cocora Valley, admire the national tree of Colombia which is the wax palm, imposing and spectacular the municipality of Filandia, beautiful, cute its typical architecture
Valle de cocora is definitely recommended for a brisk hike up to 3000 m. High with many beautiful views (with sturdy shoes ). Filandia is described as the most beautiful but I myself find Salento more cozy and especially quieter
I booked this tour with this Enterprise and the Service I received was excellent so much that with them I also requested several transfers such as coffee park, Recuca Estate and airport to the hotel and vice versa. Service from them was always excellent. I recommend it 110%.
Por parte del personal donde contraté el tour fue un excelente servicio. Personas muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar para que nuestro día fuera lo más maravilloso posible. Los recomiendo
Everything was excellent thanks to our operator Juan Manuel. Your recommendations were relevant and your patience unparalleled!!! Thank you very much
