Come and see one of the largest and most spectacular lakes in Colombia on this excursion to La Cocha lagoon, a place of incredible beauty.
Lake Cocha Tour
We'll meet at the Plaza de Nariño at 9 am and depart towards the department of Putumayo, where La Cocha is located. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes. This lake is the second largest in Colombia after Lake Tota.
During the tour, we'll walk through the area of natural beauty, learning about the glacial origins of the lake. We will then explore the village of El Puerto, passing beautiful Swiss-inspired wooden houses around the lake.
Our next stop will be at a farm, where the resident family will guide us through their self-sustainable estate, showcasing their orchards, organic crops, and guinea pig farms. After the tour, we will enjoy a lunch made from the farm's fresh produce.
Post-lunch, we'll return to Cocha lagoon and board a boat for a tour of the water reserve. We will sail to the sanctuary of La Corota Island to explore its wildlife and learn about local legends. Finally, we'll return to Pasto and enjoy a farewell snack, concluding the tour around 7 pm at the departure point.
