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!

Saw the good reviews here and we can only confirm that it was excellent. We learned a lot about the area and the cloud forest, and even saw a white armadillo. A good hike up and down the mountain and the kids loved to learn about the eco system and the differences to other places. Carlos is an excellent guide and very passionate about their project.

We took a ride to Don Ellis's coffee plantation with our guide Oscar, what a character! Everything is espectacular lmao. My wife had very little horse riding experience and Oscar made sure she was safe and gave instruction while letting the other riders trot ahead and have a little more freedom.Over all very enjoyable for us both,i just wish we had done the river trek as it was longer and had more scenery from the experience of the other group! Oscar mostly speaks Spanish, but even with basic Spanish ourselves, it was great and he is quite funny.

The place is simply magical and ideal if you need a break or aren’t interested in all the "touristy" activities. There is a sense of tranquility from the vegetation and various sounds of nature, and alongside Ximena´s guidance (and her beautiful dogs), made for a wonderful and unexpected day. Definitely one of the most underrated locations in this part of the country. Definitivamente un lugar a visitar. Siempre que estuvimos en esta área de Colombia íbamos a los lugares de siempre, sin embargo, en esta oportunidad decidimos visitar un lugar diferente que sin duda nos sorprendió por su belleza, tranquilidad y por las enseñanzas que Ximena nos transmitió. Recomendadisimo.

We offer an incredible service! Mountain Bike Tour Salento helps you plan your biking tour through the coffee region. The experience of knowing the carbonera up close is incredible, adding the downhill stretch that is really extreme. On the other hand if you do not decide not to make the extreme route you can enjoy the descent of the mountain at a good speed while admiring the incredible landscape.
