Unforgettable Cocora Valley: Iconic Wax Palm Hike & Lunch

Fantastic day hiking the Valle de Cocora. David was an excellent guide and we really enjoyed all his insights into this special part of Colombia. The scenery was stunning and we wouldn’t have discovered all the flora and fauna in the woods had we been on our own. Highly recommend this hike and Paramo Trek were very good at organising and communicating.

Best trekking company in Salento. We did the Cocora Valley tour and we had the best time with our tour guide, Mafe. She is very knowledgeable and so passionate about the valley! She showed us incredible places in the valley, such an amazing scenery. If you are in Salento, do not hesitate to book your tour with Paramo Trek.

Had a fantastic time! Our guide Seb was very knowledgeable and good at spotting birds. We spent ages at the hummingbird sanctuary and throughout the walk saw tons of bird life. The only negative comment was that lunch was back in town at 4pm once we had finished the hike, we were only provided snacks up to then.

Paramo-Trek and the guides were phenomenal! Everything super good organised and prepared. Thanks a lot for this great experience with you. My son and I are still much impressed. Patrick from Switzerland

Very VERY impressed with the services provided, transportation, guides, accommodations and the overall experience. Getting to over 16,000ft was a dream come true for me. And on a side note, all of Colombia was enjoyable, 2.5 weeks there and I enjoyed every minute

Nicole shared so much valuable information with us during the hike that it allowed us to get a glimpse of the country's past as well as appreciate the beauty of Cocora Valley. We did the extra long loop, 13-14 kilometers. Though most people do the hike on their own, we're glad we had Paramo Trek as our guide. Ran into a couple who ended up doing 20 km because they got lost! Paramo also provide hiking sticks if you need. I highly recommend sticks coz coming downhill is no joke! Paramo Trek is a very good hiking outfit, very organized n professional from beginning to end. Highly recommend!

Our group of 5 completed the Cocora Valley hike on January 30 and had the good fortune of having Nicky as our guide. The Cocora Vallley itself is stunningly beautiful; pictures can’t do it justice. Nicky was also the perfect guide - so knowledgeable and personable; she really made the hike an experience and it wouldn’t have been the same without her!

Just finished a great 3 day trek with Christian as a guide. The trek was great!! We saw the beautiful Cocora valley and the paramo full of Frailejones. On the second day we even did an extra hike from the finca to a beautiful Laguna. Christian was super knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna, withstand all of our jokes and constantly checked in with us how we were feeling with the altitude. Before the trek, the agency was very helpful to find a trek that had some people booked on it, so I could save some money as a solo traveler! Can highly recommend to book with Paramo trek!

We really enjoyed the company of our guide who was knowledgeable, helpful and very professional. We didn't see the time go by.

we did the one day cocora tour with lunch and had a really nice time. its a nice walk which during a few hours in your tempo. important to know is that the palm you see in the beginning of the tour. so you drive with the car direct to the waxpalms, the view is really nice and you can do some pictures. after that the nature is a bit different because you are going to the rainforest and see a lot of hummingbirds and enjoy a hot chocolate. our guid was very friendly, helpful and answered all our questions. i recommend this tour and to go with a guide so you dont get lost in the rainforest.
