Valley of Cocora wonderful, wonderful horseback riding, lunch in company and fantastic hike to the falls. Our Guide Manuel really a nice and professional person. Recommendation to all
Amazing day : jeep ride/horseback/ hiking through the magnificent of wax palm/perfect lunch with local products/hiking through the jungle to waterfalls… Special thinking and grateful to our guide Sara…
We went on the tour with Nicolas and were amazed by the wax palms. When you stop for a little coffee, make sure to try the cake with guava and cheese!
Amazing time! Daniel was a great guide and spoke good English for those who need. Very knowledgeable about the region, which is stunning.
The day trip was simply fantastic and highly recommended. Dani is a great tour guide with impressive knowledge of nature. It was an incredibly beautiful and relaxing day. The Cocora Valley is truly breathtaking and should definitely be visited.
Beautiful and amazing place ..Nicolas our guide incredible helpful and amazing. He was very careful and did a marvelous work showing each attraction
Nicholas my tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Whatever I needed/wanted, he was there for it, and went at whatever pace worked for me. 100% awesome.
Loved this tour, it had everything we wanted. Daniel was an excellent guide and pointed out a lot of things we would've missed about plants, nature, native birds, and the history. The horse back riding was a great experience but in the short side, there are other tours that feature more of that if you want a longer house back riding experience. The views from the lookout of the cocora valley are stunning. You will see nature in its splendor as well as all the photo op spots (the hand, wings, cocora valley sign, etc). There's also the option of a seeing a bigger waterfall or smaller one. We chose the one big one. The hike to get there was steep and challenging so be forewarned. We made it and it was worth the effort. Bonus, this cute dog that lives on the area will walk up with you and guide you to the spot. Overall great experience and I would recommend.
This was a great tour! Our guide Dani was so kind and informative. We learned a lot and had a great day of adventures. I enjoyed having a guide to handle everything even though it is possible to go on your own. He taught us a lot of things I wouldn't otherwise know about the area. Great experience!
The tour was a great way to experience the Cocora Valley. I really enjoyed being able to be in the valley before large amounts of people arrived for the day. Would definitely recommend.
