More precisely, it is in the town of Salento, 30km from Armenia, in the region of Quind\u00edo, one of the key points of the Eje Cafetero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This valley is also one of the entrances to the Parque Nacional Natural de los Nevados, a huge 583km\u00b2 protected park characterised by lakes, forests and volcanoes, some of them active, with snow-capped peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cocora Valley has a great diversity of flora and fauna. In fact, one of the main attractions of this park are its enormous <strong>Quind\u00edo Wax Palms, the tallest in the world and also Colombia&#8217;s national tree<\/strong>. As for its wildlife, you can find a great multitude of species, from pumas to hummingbirds and even cows that roam freely in some areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

The Palm Forest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This area of the valley is without a doubt the most iconic. The Bosque de las Palmas (Palm Forest) is home to 85% of the wax palms in Colombia. These trees, besides being one of the national symbols, are the tallest palms in the world, with specimens over 60 metres high. Sadly, the wax palm is an endangered species, which makes this visit even more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"29119\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/cocora-valley\/attachment\/things-to-do-in-cocora-valley-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=752%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"752,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=220%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=752%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29119\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=752%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cocora valley\" class=\"wp-image-29119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?w=752&amp;ssl=1 752w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=220%2C300&amp;ssl=1 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"29120\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/cocora-valley\/attachment\/what-to-do-in-cocora-valley-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=800%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=234%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=800%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29120\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=800%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"trip to Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-29120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=234%2C300&amp;ssl=1 234w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/what-to-do-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=768%2C983&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Palm forest in the Cocora Valley @tom_juenemann<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Acaime-the-Hummingbird-Reserve\"><\/span>2.

Mano de Acaime<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of the valley&#8217;s caf\u00e9s, Caf\u00e9 La Finca, is the Mano de Acaime. It is a huge sculpture in the shape of a hand, strategically located in one of the most photogenic places in the Cocora Valley. It can be reached via a staircase and photographed at the top. This enormous hand for tourists makes the landscape feel even more immense, as you feel tiny when you stand on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-in-the-cocora-valley\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-in-the-Cocora-Valley\"><\/span>What to do in the Cocora Valley?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-trekking-in-the-cocora-valley\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Trekking-in-the-Cocora-Valley\"><\/span>1. Trekking in the Cocora Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main activity of the Cocora Valley is exploration. The trek is about 4 to 6 hours and 14km. The route follows a circular path of moderate difficulty, although at times you will have to go deeper into the jungle and cross some streams by means of wooden suspension bridges that provide an extra element of excitement. The maximum altitude is 3000 metres and the difference in altitude is slightly more than 50 metres. As it is a circular route, you can do the walk in both directions and each has its advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to do the route as indicated, you will first find the beautiful Bosque de las Palmas. After a 1 kilometre walk slightly uphill you will reach the Finca La Monta\u00f1a, the highest point of the route at 3000 metres above sea level. From here you can enjoy what many consider to be the best views of the entire Cocora Valley. The tour then continues on to the optional Hummingbird Reserve (5000 $COP) which is very worthwhile if you wish to see these fascinating little birds. If you don&#8217;t have much time, or simply don&#8217;t feel like going there, we recommend following the route directly into the jungle. There you&#8217;ll find beautiful waterfalls and cross the streams on wooden bridges. This route is easier because there are fewer hills at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other option is to do the trek counter-clockwise, which makes the hike more difficult because of the climbs, but you are rewarded with the Bosque de las Palmas in the afternoon which, as usual, will probably be shrouded in mist. It is a good option if you are someone who prefers to save the best for last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3

Route on Horseback<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another nice way to do the route through the Cocora Valley is on horseback. The company Bosques de Cocora &#8220;Donde Juan B&#8221; offers many services in the valley and horseriding is one of them. The tour is one or two hours and includes a guide who will explain all the interesting facts about the valley. If you feel like doing this plan but have no experience on horseback, don&#8217;t worry, the ride is easy and on a dirt road so you won&#8217;t have any difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prices for this adventure are around \u20ac25 for a 1 hour trip and \u20ac40 for a 2 hour trip, although it depends on the number of people in the group. The trip includes lunch and drinks and groups must have a a minimum of two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"821\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"29125\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/cocora-valley\/attachment\/activities-in-cocora-valley-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=821%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"821,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=241%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=821%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29125\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=821%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cocora valley\" class=\"wp-image-29125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?w=821&amp;ssl=1 821w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=241%2C300&amp;ssl=1 241w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/activities-in-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=768%2C958&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"29126\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/cocora-valley\/attachment\/cocora-valley-colombia-salento\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento.jpeg?fit=757%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"757,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento.jpeg?fit=222%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento.jpeg?fit=757%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29126\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento.jpeg?resize=757%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"trip to cocora valley\" class=\"wp-image-29126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento.jpeg?w=757&amp;ssl=1 757w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cocora-Valley-Colombia-Salento.jpeg?resize=222%2C300&amp;ssl=1 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Cocora Valley Tour @parisexplorer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Picnic\"><\/span>3. Picnic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get into the Cocora Valley you won&#8217;t find a place to stop for a bite to eat or a drink of water. For this reason, many visitors choose to have a picnic sitting quietly in front of one of Colombia&#8217;s most impressive views. In fact, if you don&#8217;t want to go shopping, many local establishments and hotels offer a picnic service.  This activity is so common that romantic picnics for couples are even organised in the camping areas with Valentine&#8217;s Day-style decorations and elaborate lunches for $210,000 (\u20ac46) per couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to have a picnic, and especially if you do so outside the camping and catering area, don&#8217;t forget to pick up your rubbish before continuing your route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Yoga\"><\/span>4. Yoga<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The company Bosques de Cocora &#8220;Donde Juan B&#8221; also offers this nature Yoga session for groups. The activity includes a delicious and filling lunch of golden trout, country salad, tasting of trout consomm\u00e9, sauces, etc., plus another snack in the afternoon. The price is 77,700$ COP (17\u20ac) per person, group rate for groups of 10 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Planting-a-palm-tree\"><\/span>5. Planting a palm tree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The same company offers another essential activity for those who love nature and are committed to the environment. As we said before, the Wax Palm, Colombia&#8217;s national tree, is in danger of extinction; therefore, there is a nice initiative that consists of planting and adopting a palm tree. The activity includes an ecological talk about the palm and the natural park of the Cocora Valley. The price to plant is 160.000$ COP (35\u20ac) per person if done individually, but decreases depending on the number of people participating in the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Visit-Salento\"><\/span>6. Visit Salento<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Salento is the oldest municipality in the region of Quind\u00edo and the closest to the Cocora Valley. Since the trip to the valley is done in one day, we recommend taking the opportunity to visit this picturesque town that will captivate you due to its amazing colours and friendly people. Here are the must-sees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plaza de Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar<\/strong>: As well as being where you catch the Willys Jeep to the Cocora Valley, this square is a hub of life and nightlife on Saturdays, contrasting with the peace of Sunday mass at the Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Carmen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calle Real<\/strong>: although all the town&#8217;s streets with their white architecture and vibrant colours are worth strolling down, if you have to choose just one, Calle Real should be the one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take home authentic Colombian coffee<\/strong>: take advantage of the fact that you are in the Eje Cafetero to take home one (or several) packets of Colombian coffee bought at <strong>Tienda Caf\u00e9 Salento <\/strong>on Calle Real.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex

Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To go to the Cocora Valley you must first get to the town of Salento. It&#8217;s located 10km from the Cocora Valley. If you have a car you can make the trip yourself and leave it in the parking lot of one of the restaurants located at the entrance of the valley. But if you don&#8217;t have a car or if you prefer to get a ride, you can take one of the Jeep &#8220;<strong>Willys<\/strong>&#8221; (the typical transport of the region) that leave from the Plaza Simon Bolivar in Salento. The trip costs approximately 4000 $COP (&lt;1\u20ac) per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the easiest way to get to Salento is a flight to one of the main cities of the coffee region such  Pereira or Armenia. Once in Pereira or Armenia, take one of the buses to Salento. Salento is only about 30km away from Armenia and the price for this trip is 4700$ COP (1&#8217;05 \u20ac). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you have time we recommend you also visit the town of Finland which is very close to Salento. And you can also go there in one of the Jeeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"29133\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/cocora-valley\/attachment\/how-to-get-to-cocora-valley-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=750%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?fit=750%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29133\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=750%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-29133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/how-to-get-to-Cocora-Valley-Colombia.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"29135\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/cocora-valley\/attachment\/finland-village-in-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Finland-village-in-colombia.jpeg?fit=600%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Finland-village-in-colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Finland-village-in-colombia.jpeg?fit=180%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Finland-village-in-colombia.jpeg?fit=600%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29135\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Finland-village-in-colombia.jpeg?resize=600%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-29135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Finland-village-in-colombia.jpeg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Finland-village-in-colombia.jpeg?resize=180%2C300&amp;ssl=1 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Discover how to get to Cocora Valley in Colombia @ditiraya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding-the-Two-Main-Hiking-Routes\"><\/span>Understanding the Two Main Hiking Routes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many first-time visitors don\u2019t realise that the Cocora Valley offers two distinct hiking options: the short out-and-back walk to the famous wax palm viewpoints, and the full circular loop that takes you through cloud forest, rivers, and suspension bridges before reaching the palms. The shorter route is ideal if you want big scenery without spending all day on the trail \u2014 it\u2019s straightforward and filled with photo opportunities almost from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer loop is a completely different experience: more challenging, muddier after rain, but incredibly rewarding. Along the way, you\u2019ll walk under dense canopy, cross wooden bridges that sway slightly with each step, and feel the temperature shift as you climb. For many travelers, this variation makes the Cocora Valley feel like several landscapes in one. Choosing the right route depends on how much time you have and how adventurous you feel that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-the-Cocora-Valley\"><\/span>Where to stay in the Cocora Valley?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it is a protected area, there is no accommodation inside the Cocora Valley.

But if you don&#8217;t have a car or if you prefer to be driven there, you can take one of the Jeep &#8220;Willys&#8221; (the typical transport of the region) that leave from the Plaza Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar in Salento. The trip costs about 4000 $COP (&lt;1\u20ac) per person.<br\/><br\/>The easiest way to get to Salento is to take one of the buses that leave from the main cities of the Eje Cafetero, such as Armenia, which is only about 30km away. The cost of this journey is COP$4700 (\u20ac1.05).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1637769604088\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the weather like in the Cocora Valley?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The climate is humid, with fog and rainfall practically every day of the year.
