★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 202 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $157Our pick

From Salento, Armenia, or Filandia, your private English or Spanish-speaking guide leads you through Cocora Valley and a working coffee farm. Expect wax palms, rugged trails, coffee picking and roasting, tasting lessons, hotel pickup, and an itinerary that can shift with the weather.

“The tour was excellent and exactly what we were expecting. We took the 7am tour which was perfect as we had the Cocora Valley almost for ourselves (my gf, the guide and me) and could therefore enjoy the hike to the three viewpoints very much. Our guide Alejandro was very knowledgeable about the area, being from this region himself. Moreover he had also deep knowledge in the coffee making process, having worked for almost 6 years for a coffee company. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to hike the Cocora Valley and has an interest in Coffee.”
