My husband and I did the shorter (out and back; 6km/2hrs return) hike with our two boys, aged 7 and 5. Wow - amazing views of towering wax palms and lush mountain scenery. Just like the Truffala Trees in the Dr Seuss book ‘The Lorax’! Views in the morning were magical, but the weather definitely started closing in with clouds rolling over from around 10:30/11. This was an easy hike to do with children. We took the shared Willy/Jeep from the main square in Salento at 8:30 (they leave hourly on the half hour) and returned on the 11:30 transport. I would’ve loved to have done the larger circuit, but 12km/5-6hrs was probably a bit of a stretch for a 5 year old, unfortunately! It wasn’t particularly crowded and the trail was very easy to walk on - no rain on the morning we went, and regular sports shoes were fine as there really wasn’t a lot of mud at all. Perhaps we got lucky, as it does get quite wet at this time of year!

Pictures can’t do this unique valley justice. You have to experience it. We did the 12 km loop counter clockwise (steep part first) and were treated to a cool river trail that crosses the river several times over wooden suspension bridges (one person at a time please ????) then a pretty good climb but very doable. Then once at the top you begin to enjoy the easy path down with many photo opportunities. Think Jurassic park and Dr Suess... Highly recommended!

We are a small boutique coffee farm that produces PURE traditional varietels of coffee using eco-friendly techniques. We do not talk about what we are planning to do. We show you the cool eco-friendly stuff we are currently doing. (We came 2nd in a sustainable tourism contest run by the Colombian Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism in 2013.) Our tour lasts 3 hours and covers the whole of the coffee process - from the cultivatation, to the harvesting , to the tasting and roasting of our coffee . We do an english tour a day at 9.00am and a spanish tour at 15.00pm Monday to Friday. Saturday we do an english tour at 9.00. Sunday is our day off ! The tour leaves from Plantation House reception and the farm is only 10 minutes walk away from Salento. We are currently tasting different roasts and different varietels. So if you ever wondered how roasting affects the taste of your coffee or how the same varietels from the same farm can taste different - NOW IS YOUR CHANCE.

We went midweek and had a very intimate tour group, this place isn’t like most North American botanical gardens where you wander at your own will, instead you go with a guide who is very knowledgeable. We saw some funny little rodents, squirrels, many colourful birds, and gorgeous Colombian flora. The butterfly exhibit was definitely the highlight, not only because of the butterflies but also the turtles which we were able to get up close and personal with!
