Next, you'll take a trip into the lush Cocora Valley and a guided tour of the Wax Palm Forest. This valley is spectacular by itself, but when combined with the forest filled with the tallest wax palms in the world, it becomes an almost spiritual experience. You'll get to spend a few hours walking through this peaceful zone with more beautiful views in every direction.

After you've stopped for a wonderful lunch you'll continue onto a sensational coffee tour. This is one of the best coffee tours in Colombia and so very unique. The reason being the philosophy of this single lady owner. She has created a Finca that is completely pesticide and machinery free. Every part of the entire process is done by hand and with this, you'll discover the traditional methods of growing the perfect coffee bean. You'll also get to explore this wonderful Finca and find so much more than just coffee is grown here, such as a large variety of fruits as well.

Once here, you’ll begin your tour of this wonderful mountain town with a visit to the Plaza (main square). You'll adore the style of the architecture of the surrounding buildings, such as the mayor's office, many restaurants, offices, and of course, the impressive Maria Inmaculada Chruch standing tall and overlooking the many people and pigeons below.

Next, it's a short walk over to the grandeur of the “Casa de La Cultura” with its giant chessboard and fantastic history within. You'll walk through this amazing building which functions as a living museum, as well as a centerpiece of the Colombian Coffee Zone Culture.
