Salento's Cocora Valley: Unforgettable Horseback Wax Palm Trek

My tour was great. The hike was fun and my guide shared so much information with me. I could tell he really loves his job and enjoys doing these tours. He explained everything well and had answers to all my questions. Whenever I wanted a picture, my guide would take pictures of me. If I didn‘t like them he‘d happily re-do them. He also gave me enough time to enjoy the landscape. After the hike I didn‘t feel well, but my guide took care of me. He suggested we did things a bit slower and go to a pharmacy so I could enjoy the rest of the tour. Then we had lunch and went horse riding. My inexperience with horses wasn’t a problem either, as the horse owner gave me a quick lecture before riding. The owner and my guide were riding along side of me. Whenever I didn’t know how to lead the horse, they would help me. It was pouring, but it didn‘t matter because my guide thought of that too. He knew the chance for rain was high, so we got a rain poncho before the start of the tour and I wore it for the horse riding part. Thanks to the poncho, I didn‘t get wet, although it was raining. Pedro was super kind, considerate, easy going and the best guide I could have asked for. We had a great day and good conversation. I have beautiful memories and pictures of my experience 💯👌🏽 I hope to maybe see him again on another tour sometime as he mentioned he does tours across different cities in Colombia

Hei. Everything was amazing. Maria was a great and fun guide who showed us more than she was supposed to and really enjoyd getting to know her. Loved every minute of it! Gracias!

Amazing tour, Juan was our tour guide. He spoke excellent English, very informative. We went early to Corora Valley which i would recommend to avoid the crowds. The horse riding at the end was a great experience, the horses are well cared for on a small farm and only go out twice a day at the most and only small groups at a time. would highly recommend this tour!

The horse riding was fantastic and the landscape was beautiful. Our guide was amazing. I definitely recommend this tour

We hiked with Pedro who was super nice and very knowledgeable. The Cocora Valley is gorgeous! We learned so much and had a blast on the hike. The horseback ride was incredible, beautiful healthy horses, breathtaking views and very fun company. Pedro made sure we had an unforgettable day in Salento, we have made beautiful memories. Highly highly recommend it!

Great tour guide! We learned a lot. The scenery was beautiful! We will definitely go back! Our tour guide Luisa Fernanda was awesome and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend to personally request her as the tour guide!

Juan our guide was great! Very knowledgeable and fun. Diago was great and his horses were very well taken care of

Great experience and guide. We had to reschedule to the next day of our actual booking. That was no problem. Our guide was super friendly and well informed. Had a great time with her. Cocoa valley was amazing. Go in the morning before the crowds. The horse riding was also fun and even for beginners. Super calm horses. Thanks for the great time!

One of my favourite travel experiences ever. The Cocora Valley is well and truly a unique place. The trek ensures you get to see all the best views and my tour guide Mafa was extremely knowledgeable. She was also very cool and the perfect person to spend the day with. The horse riding takes place back in Salento away from the Cocora Valley. At first I was a bit disappointed but I see why they do it now, less tourists getting in the way and a trail where the horses can go a bit quicker. The highlight for me was walking in the river. It was raining very hard and was soaked but I wouldn’t of had it any other way. It all added to the experience. Diego who was in charge of the ride was in control of the horses throughout the ride (I’m a novice). Want to point out you don’t have to get up very early for this either, so even more points given! Thanks Mafa and Diego for an experience I’ll never forget.

We had a great time with Mafe, learning about the cocora valley, palm trees and wilderness and Salento. She was really informative and very knowledgable, we had lots of fun together. The horse riding was also a great afternoon activity and nice change to other tours!
