          Beautiful trip to Cocora Valley
          The hike and horse riding across the Cocora Valley was absolutely gorgeous. Our guide Nicolas was very friendly, helpful and explained a lot about the nature of the Cocora Valley. This was an amazing experience, I would definitely book with Cocora tours again, especially with our guide Nicolas!

          This is Heaven!
          It was a lifetime experience, the stunning views on a horseback, this combination was out of the world, it was my first time on the horseback, kind of an adventure with trekking. There are spots where we can get down from the horse and climb a little bit for clicking stunning pictures, our guide Monica was really kind and helpful, she was always with our son, at first i thought it was risky for my 3 year old riding solo on a horse but infact he enjoyed it a lot and it was safe for him. You can watch videos on youtube of this place but trust me, relishing the experience with your own eyes makes you feel this is heaven. Truly heavenly experience.

          Great walk!
          Amazing walk! Cocorotours pick-up and drive to start of climb. Sarah, our translator, walked with us and provided the commentary as Julio, our guide gave us interesting info on the flora and fauna on the walk up to Condor viewpoint. The walk itself, gave us a workout, given the altitude and distance walked uphill, but the encouragement given made it a pleasant experience. And the views were spectacular! Didn’t manage to see the Condor but several vultures!

          gorgeous hike in Cocora Valley!
          This was an absolutely incredible experience and I would highly recommend it! Cezar was really knowledgeable and a great guide. The views were absolutely stunning and my horse was really sweet. My only complaints are with the description of the tour. In the description it says "walk" but this was definitely a hike. I tracked it, and it ended up being 6.8 miles total and 1400 ft of elevation gain- on foot. I love hiking, so this wasn't a problem for me, but I know that's not the case for everyone. It wasn't super clear from the description how intense it would be- it seemed as if the hardest parts would be done on horseback, but the horseback portion was roughly 30 minutes. I definitely would have worn more appropriate footwear and clothing if I realized. Some of the pics of the tour also included the Cocora valley sign and sculptures that are more like photo ops, ex the angel wings, and woman with her hands out, so I thought we'd be walking around and seeing these in a much more casual manner- you can see these sculptures but from a distance, the experience was much more about hiking down into the valley.

          An option of hiking is not an option
          If you can't hike, it's a good option to explore parts of the valley on horseback. I recommend going early before the crowds arrive. I started at 8.30am and was the only one on the trail. The horses seemed healthy. It's much cheaper if you book locally. If you book on their website it's more expensive. There always seem to be horses available so I would just go and try your luck. It's a bit strange that the guides walk with you instead of riding. My tour ended 30 minutes early.

          Unforgettable and unmissable
          The perfect experience to have in Salento, I would highly recommend the longer tour -- trekking through the jungle and seeing the different stages of the Cocora Valley was amazing. One of the best tours I've ever had, would happily do it again!

          Excellent tour with some tough hiking but worth the effort
          Loved this tour, it had everything we wanted. Daniel was an excellent guide and pointed out a lot of things we would've missed about plants, nature, native birds, and the history. The horse back riding was a great experience but in the short side, there are other tours that feature more of that if you want a longer house back riding experience. The views from the lookout of the cocora valley are stunning. You will see nature in its splendor as well as all the photo op spots (the hand, wings, cocora valley sign, etc). There's also the option of a seeing a bigger waterfall or smaller one. We chose the one big one. The hike to get there was steep and challenging so be forewarned. We made it and it was worth the effort. Bonus, this cute dog that lives on the area will walk up with you and guide you to the spot. Overall great experience and I would recommend.

          Great tour with horseback ride, hike, and waterfall!
          This was a great tour! Our guide Dani was so kind and informative. We learned a lot and had a great day of adventures. I enjoyed having a guide to handle everything even though it is possible to go on your own. He taught us a lot of things I wouldn't otherwise know about the area. Great experience!

          Wonderful!
          The tour guide was wonderful. We were two adults and a 9 & 11 year olds. We had two guides during the horseback ride and then during the hike portion we had the main tour guide.

          Amazing tour
          Fantastic tour, lovely horseride to start with Jonathan guiding us. Then we met Cesar for the hike, he was such a knowledgable guide. He told us all about the various ecosystems in the valley as well as lots of interesting facts about the history of Colombia. The hike is challenging but manageable, would recommend good hiking shoes and a rain jacket. Overall a really enjoyable experience and highly recommended.

Our guide Cesar is totally fantastic and share so many stories about the region and Colombia in an engaging and professional way. A true storyteller. I could do this day over and over again. THANK YOU Cesar 🙏🏻

          Great way to experience Cócora Valley!
          Really appreciated our Spanish-only speaking guide. He was able to communicate nicely with me as to proper riding techniques, took amazing pictures for us and paced our trip perfectly for our abilities. A great experience! The river stop was so amazing and refreshing!

        Great tour, very authentic. Nico was friendly, patient, flexible with the schedule, forthcoming (helped with my bag and took photos), explained a lot about the nature and the region. Natalia from the Buenos Aires farm was superb, great knowlege and engagement and had a good handle of the large & diverse group. Then lunch, the Jeep ride and the music were also nice highlights of the trip!

        This trip was delivered exactly as outlined. The company did arrive 30 minutes late, but otherwise, we had a great experience. Before leaving I let them know we would be traveling with my elderly parents and they assured me they would accommodate and they did. My mom was able to ride in front of the Jeep and it was great. We got to the Cocora Valley and our tour guide, (who spoke English) Daniel, was so kind and helpful. We were able to see the "easy" stuff in Salento and then Daniel suggested my parents hang in a coffee shop while we did an hour-long hike up high, perfect! The best part was Daniel suggested a longer hike (14 kilometers) the next day and it was beautiful when my husband and I went. Then we went to a coffee farm and it was amazing! We learned a lot and had a delicious peasant lunch, snacks, and a coffee tasting. We arrived back 8 hours later, sated and well-informed. I would recommend this to anyone for the price! Ask for Daniel if you want an Engish speaking guide!

        The tour was super nice and interesting.
        First I got pick up at my hotel in Salento in a Jeep, and brought to cocora Valley, where we took a less crowded path for a 1.5 h hike in the area.
        The view is incredible and nature just stunning.
        Our guide has been giving us a lot of info about that whole area, plus took picture of us.
        Then, again by Jeep, we went to finca Buenos Aires, where we took a tour and learned about the whole coffee making process.
        Obviously, that was followed by tasting the most delicious coffee I've ever had and a yummy campesino lunch.
        Highly recommend it
