Filandia, Salento & Cocora Valley Day Trip

Discover the authentic Antioquian style of Filandia and Salento, two quaint towns in the Colombian Coffee region, against the backdrop of the Cocora Valley.

Description

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

We will uncover the legend of the Cocora princess and stroll among the towering Wax Palms, some reaching 60 meters (196 feet) in height. After a lunch stop, we will continue to Salento to discover the Antioquian architecture featuring colourful houses and balconies adorned with flowerpots. We'll immerse ourselves in the local atmosphere on Calle Real and walk along the Camino del Quindío, a historic route. We will also visit the Alto de la Cruz viewpoint for panoramic views of Salento.

Next, we will visit Filandia, known as the 'Colina Iluminada' or Illuminated Hill. This town is characterized by its colourful Antioquian-style buildings and quiet streets. We will walk through its avenues, visiting the Street of Stopped Time, where houses retain their original structure. We'll engage with the community at the Central Park and enjoy a view of the Templo María Inmaculada church.

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