Cocora Valley and the Paramo ascent
Trekking, NATURE, Ecoturism
Breakfast in Salento and transportation by traditional Jeep Willys from the Colombian coffee growers to the majestic Cocora Valley with its wax palms, often immersed in a mysterious mist. We cross 6 suspension bridges across a tumultuous river that descends from the mountains. We walk along the Acaime nature reserve and continue to the farmhouse called "the star of water" (Estrella de Agua) where we will enjoy a typical mountain lunch.
At around 12:30 pm, we head towards La Primavera farmhouse where we will spend the night. We will cross the ecosystem of the Páramo, considered essential for life. With a bit of luck we will be able to observe the imposing Tolima Glacier and the sumptuous Paramillo of the Quindio.
