Description

We'll pick you up at the indicated time at your accommodation in Armenia to start our tour through the Colombian Coffee Axis. A short drive will bring us to our first stop: the Cocora Valley.

We'll explore the "secret of the thousand greens," uncovering the legend of the Cocora princess and strolling among the towering Wax Palms, some reaching 60 meters (196 feet) in height.

After lunch, we'll head to Salento to discover the Antioquian architecture, characterized by colourful houses and balconies adorned with flowerpots. We’ll enjoy the atmosphere in Calle Real, stroll through the town, and arrive at the Camino del Quindío, a historic route in the coffee region. Additionally, we’ll visit the Alto de la Cruz viewpoint.

Next, we will go to Filandia, known as 'Colina Iluminada'. This town is noted for its colourful buildings and tranquil streets. We’ll walk among its houses and local stores, reaching the Street of Stopped Time, where the houses retain their original structure.

Filandia, home to many coffee growers, features colourful avenues and friendly locals. At the Central Park, we'll engage with the community and enjoy a panoramic view of the Templo María Inmaculada church.

After an 8.5-hour tour, we will return to your hotel.
