“We loved our tour to Cocora Valley, Salento and Filandia! Our guide Soledad was really nice and helpful, and she told us a lot about Colombian culture and nature! Cocora Valley was amazing! Soledad took us a bit further in the park where there were not so many people so that we could enjoy the beautiful scenery around in silcence and tranquility. Salento and Filandia were also amazing, it was really nice to walk around and enjoy the cute colorful houses, especially in the morning when it still wasn't that busy. The tour is definitely worth it!”
