“Amazing tour! Corcora Valley is beautiful and our tour guide Luisa did an excellent job taking us through the valley and explaining the history and culture. The hike can be challenging so please bring good walking shoes, water, and a hat/sunscreen. The wax palm trees are so unique and tall. We enjoyed a good traditional meal at a local restaurant before we moved on to Salento and Filandia. They are beautiful small towns with great view points, shops, and coffee. Our driver picked us up at our hotel and drove us throughout the tour before dropping us off safely at our hotel at the end. This was a huge help…”
