Day 6: THE COFFEE REGION
DAY 1: THE COFFEE REGION
The coffee region, an essential area of Colombia. Very attractive thanks to the historic and colonial towns, its fincas, coffee plantations, beautiful natural reserves, the beauty of its landscapes and its endemic animals.
Some representative elements are the aroma of coffee, the willy jeeps, the beautiful haciendas, the typical crafts and of course the kindness and cordiality of the locals… they will welcome you with open arms!
- Night in Salento.
DAY 2: TREK THE TROPICAL ANDES
The adventure begins with breakfast (6:30 a.m.) in a restaurant in Salento, starting point (2390m), departure at 7:00 a.m., towards Cocora Valley, cradle of the national tree: the wax palm. These trees, which seem to defy the sky, rise to more than 70 meters above sea level, a spectacle considered a national monument. Bordering the San José River, you will then dive into a“Cloud Forest”. Picnic on the road at the height of the Mirador refuge (3150mts) and then ascent to 3450m at the La Argentina finca. Enjoy an exceptional panorama then relax after a tiring but emotional day.
- Night in local accommodation.
DAY 3: TREK THE TROPICAL ANDES
After breakfast, begin the ascent towards the páramos and its strange Frailejones, endemic and ancestral plants which can reach several hundred years old and which are the symbol of the Colombian mountains. The San José River will accompany your route and you will cross it several times during the trek, across wooden bridges; enjoying thedense vegetation and wildlife. It is possible to find hummingbirds and many other species in their natural habitat. After a peasant lunch in a traditional farm at 3,170m we will continue our ascent to Finca la Primavera .

Then you will return to the La Primavera farm, and what better way to end the day than with a nice hot drink and a traditional dinner.

DAY 5: TREK THE TROPICAL ANDES
After a good mountain breakfast, you will leave the La Primavera farm, going up to the La Virgen hill and its lagoon at 380m, leaving the Páramo behind you. and starting the descent towards the Cocora valley.
