Shared tour from Salento to Cocora Valley, guided hike among wax palms over 60 meters tall, round trip transport, optional coffee farm.

“This tour was absolutely fantastic, I would book it again in a heartbeat. Juan is a truly wonderful tour guide; he knows so much about the nature of Cocora Valley. He also shows you the different birds and flowers. Plus, he can give you great tips for your trip around Colombia. The Luger coffee tour was also very interesting; the staff there explained the entire coffee production process very well and showed us the coffee farm and how the coffee is made. Thank you so much for the unforgettable day!”

“We really enjoyed the coffee tour here and would highly recommend it. Johnathan was a great, funny tour guide with excellent English and he answered all of our questions about the process. It is possible to get a normal taxi out to the farm but it is cheaper to get the jeep back to Solento (it cost 4k pesos per person)”

“The tour with Jonathan at Ocaso coffee house just outside of Salento was fun, educational and engaging! They took us through the entire process from planting a coffee tree to picking the coffee cherries to the roasting and preparation processes, would highly recommend! Our guide Pedro could not have been more helpful, flexible, respectful and fun. He took amazing pictures of us walking through the town while explaining its history and showing us the best place for lunch (Maria Ocampos 5/5) and some amazing views. We came as customers and left as friends, couldn’t recommend this experience more! Our only regret is that we didn’t have time do the bird…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $55

Salento-area coffee tour in Filandia. Walk a plantation, learn planting to roasting, then enjoy coffee-time with Mauricio. 3 hours, $55.

“What an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience! Mauricio is such a friendly and knowledgeable host and really opens up the world of coffee for his guests. We have gained a whole new appreciation for it! He works hard to keep his guests comfortable and informed, and encourages you to be more mindful of your senses in everyday life - something that we often need to be reminded of. The tour was not only informative, but so much fun and it’s so interesting to learn all about all the different ways you can make the same coffee bean taste by using specific techniques. We had an amazing time at this tour…”
