        One of the most beautiful spots in the world, but poorly run.
        The tour company did a great job with the transportation, and the hot springs are a must-see. Possibly one of the most beautiful hot springs in the world. However, fellow traveller, the hot springs aren't very well run. It could be run by a monkey and still make money. That’s how beautiful this place is. So forget what you know about spas, and think of it more like a carnival show run by gypsies, and if anything, you will be pleasantly surprised. But go. This place is an absolute delight.

        It was amazing! Our driver did a fantastic job and we plan on doing it again next time we visit Colombia. It was very relaxing, and the driver made sure we were very comfortable.

        The Santa Rosa de Cabal Hot Springs
        The Santa Rosa de Cabal Hot Springs were great. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful location. The views are amazing and it was a great day tour to go on. The company sent a brand new car service with a professional friendly driver to pick us up at our AirBNB. The driver then waited there the entire day and brought us back at the end of the day.

        Very reliable transportation
        Service was great and on time (actually slightly earlier), driver was professional and took us to the hotel in no time 😇 good experience having a transportation service already booked (secured) from Salento to Pereira, clean and new vehicle which for us was one of the most important aspect!

        Amazing! Highly recommend
        Amazing tour, Juan was our tour guide. He spoke excellent English, very informative. We went early to Corora Valley which i would recommend to avoid the crowds. The horse riding at the end was a great experience, the horses are well cared for on a small farm and only go out twice a day at the most and only small groups at a time. would highly recommend this tour!

        Great tour if you want to meet with local people, see how the coffee is made from zero to cup, enjoy the nature, and eat delicious food. We loved everything about this tour and cannot recommend it enough!

        Juan was great. The valley was stunning
        We ended up being just me and my friend which was good fun. Juan our guide was a natural and we chatted the whole way up to the valley and throughout the tour he was very informed and not just the valley but Salento in general, he gave us some great tips for our trip as well as the facts about the valley and the nature. The only downside is that being a tour we didn’t have the time to walk very far around the valley. I guess cause we booked the 2pm one but most people go to the valley and walk around themselves and then have the opportunity to go deeper to the jungley part and £44 if it wasn’t for juan’s great tour guiding it would of felt like a waste of money. If you’re not bothered about the information then I recommend going by yourself but if you want the information and the advice about Salento get Juan to take you round.

        Salento es sensacional, along with coffee.
        Excellent and very informative tour about the coffee making process from beginning to end. The Salento tour was amazing , Laura was very knowledgeable and gave detailed explanations about Salento and its history. The eatery’s were also a treat.

        When nature calls
        An absolutely amazing place. A nature therapy for tranquility and relaxation. The waterfall is quite remarkable. The thermal waters are peculiar and out of this world.

        Breathtaking landscapes
        Excellent tour, with breathtaking landscapes. We expected the hike to be a bit longer, but as we walk a lot everyday during our stay in Colombia that was enough. Gustavo was a perfect guide. We will keep great memories of this day 😊

        Santa Rosa - wonderful day trip!
        The view was amazing! We enjoyed basking in the thermal pools. We got great photos. Mauricio was our driver for the day and made getting there and back so much easier! We appreciated him getting us in so quickly, and stopping at a good photo spot on the way home, as well as suggesting a wonderful spot for lunch with a gorgeous view. Great trip!

        Wonderful experience!
        Everything was amazing! Jonathan was a great guide at Ocaso for the coffee farm, took us through the entire process of making coffee, was very knowledgeable. Pedro also really took care of us, he was very fun and respectful and kept the day fun! He took us to an amazing restaurant Maria ocampos in Salento and gave us a thorough tour of the city. Would definitely recommend to family and friends!

      We would 100% recommend the tour to anyone wishing to make the best out of Cocora Valley and a coffee farm tour in a single day.

      Yazmín, our guide for the day, picked us up at our accommodation in Salento at 8:30. We then drove approximately 20 minutes to the Luger Coffee Farm. The session on the farm started with a theoretical part wherein Lio (one of the guides at Luger) taught us the whole process of how coffee is made (from bean to cup). The theoretical session was then put into practice with harvesting our own coffee beans and living through the whole process of preparing the bean, drying, roasting it, and eventually making our own coffee. Lio was a well-spoken, knowledgeable, and authentic guide, answering all our questions and more.

      From the farm, we drove 30 minutes to the Cocora Valley, where we did the 4.5 km version of the hike. Yazmín told us a lot of interesting background about the place and the vegetation. The hike itself offers a wonderful view of the famous palm trees and the whole valley in general. Certain parts of the hike were quite crowded as this is "the" tourist spot in Salento. Nonetheless, the view was definitely worth it. Regarding physical effort, the walk was nothing special. Although it's uphill all the way, the paths are quite wide.

      The whole tour includes some coffee and local snacks but no lunch (which you know upfront). When the tour was over, Yazmín took us to a local restaurant in Salento for a late lunch (at our own cost).

      Thanks to Yazmín for taking care of us and showing us a great day in Salento and its surroundings.

      From the first moment the experience was exceptional. The day before starting, the person who guided us contacted us and was very punctual. The guide, Nicolai, was very attentive, with countless information, curiosities and stories about the places we were, the treatment was very close and trusting, making our experience even more beautiful, pleasant and enjoyable, always attentive to us all the time, advising us on our purchases, places to visit, stores and future activities, 10/10.
      The experience at the coffee farm was great, the guide and attention of Gregorio, owner of the Luger farm, was especially instructive, entertaining, pleasant, close and attentive, being able to collect grain directly, making our own coffee and enjoying it and how prepare it correctly another 10/10

      Pedro is a very informative, energetic, and friendly guide. He was kind enough to be patient with me while I was practicing my Spanish, accommodated extra time for exploring the town of Salento, and answered all my questions eagerly. I would highly recommend this tour to any solo travelers interested in seeing most of the major sites of Salento and understanding its history while under a time-crunch.

      An amazing experience, a must see and do in Colombia, IMHO. Davide was an amazing guide, and the choice of locations was superb -- a perfect first visit to a smaller and more traditional yet very cozy coffee plantation/farm, then a visit to the incredible Cocora valley. I'd do it again and warmly recommend it to anyone visiting the coffee region.

      During our 3 week trip in Colombia, I realized it’s not necessarily the activity that creates a special memory but more the people. We were picked up in the morning by our amazing tour guide Pedro, where he brought us to the cocora valley in our drop top jeep, got some cool action shots along the way. Both me and the girlfriend got along with Pedro wonderfully as his English and humour was an added bonus. We spent all afternoon learning about the wax palms and taking some great photos. Pictures do no justice, something you need to experience. The coffee tour was excellent, our guide was 1 of a kind and it was super interesting to experience the entire lengthy process of making my favourite drink. We ended off the day with learning some history of Salento, it was so nice to see the passion Pedro takes in his city. He then invited us out later to have some drinks and give us some pointers for the rest of our trip. Amazing day, amazing guide 10/10 recommend!

      We had a great time with our tour guide Jorge Corcora Valley is beautiful, and the hiking was great to see the different view points. We went in the morning and it was quiet quiet which we enjoyed! The coffee tour was so fun, really great to learn about the coffee process from bean to drink and also understand the growing process for coffee and other plants such a bamboo, citrus, plantain and bananas- first time seeing pink bananas and Steven our guide was great and very passionate!

      Would highly recommend and great if you've only got a few days in Solento

      Our favorite part was David, our most excellent guide. He was informative, hospitable, charming and candid. This is certainly high praise, considering both the charm of the coffee farm and the other-worldly beauty of the Corcora Valley. David is an outstanding ambassador for any visitor to these areas and as we went on several such tours during our time in Colombia, he stuck out for his tact, eloquence and affability. He is an asset to his employer and trade and made the day all the more special.
