Walking the Valley de Cocora, visiting the humming birds and soaking up Salento

The Los Nevados National Park region is gorgeous, mist-filled rolling valleys with just miles and miles of luscious greens of the jungle all around you.

The highlight is the Valley de Cocora – a valley full of the world’s tallest palm trees (up to 60m / 200 feet) that also includes a great 5/6 hour round trip hike with views of the valleys below and a spot with hundreds of hummingbirds hovering around you.

Plus generally staying in the pretty hill-top town of Salento for a relaxing few days.

They can get a little touristy in spots, but you don’t have to wander far to find yourself a quieter spot that allows you to relax and soak up the central Colombian vibe.

Definitely one of the highlights of Colombia
