We shared an amazing day with our guide (Jose) through the Cocora Valley. The guide was local to the area and explained a lot, as well as being amabilisimo. Very affordable route. Amazing views. Recommended 100%. I'd definitely repeat.
Hola, Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaste de la magia del Valle de Cocora y que Jose, con su conocimiento local y su calidez, logró transmitirles la esencia de nuestra tierra. Para nosotros es un orgullo contar con guías que no solo conocen el camino, sino que aman y respetan profundamente este ecosistema. Gracias por confiar en el equipo de Páramo Trek y por esa recomendación al 100%. Las puertas de nuestra oficina en Salento y las montañas del Quindío estarán siempre abiertas para ustedes. ¡Será un gusto recibirlos de nuevo para seguir explorando juntos! ¡Un gran abrazo y bienvenidos siempre!
We had the most incredible experience with Robin, our guide. He showed us how to make wax from the wax palm trees. He knew many of the plants and especially the birds. Our hike was long (14 km) but worth every step of the way. Robin is an experienced and excellent guide. Would highly recommend.
I could not recommend this tour of Cocora Valley more highly, particularly if you are interested in birds and biodiversity. My guide, Robin, was extremely knowledgeable and spent a lot of time talking explaining the birds of the area. If you want to learn more about the local wildlife while taking in the breathtaking views of the Cocora Valley, this tour is for you.
Fantastic day hiking the Valle de Cocora. David was an excellent guide and we really enjoyed all his insights into this special part of Colombia. The scenery was stunning and we wouldn’t have discovered all the flora and fauna in the woods had we been on our own. Highly recommend this hike and Paramo Trek were very good at organising and communicating.

We appreciate your recommendation and kind words about our organization and communication. We’d love to have you join us for another adventure in the future!
Best trekking company in Salento. We did the Cocora Valley tour and we had the best time with our tour guide, Mafe. She is very knowledgeable and so passionate about the valley! She showed us incredible places in the valley, such an amazing scenery. If you are in Salento, do not hesitate to book your tour with Paramo Trek.
Hi! Thank you so much for travelling with and we us this review. We love to read you like it and enjoy it so much. Welcome always to our family paramotrek
Had a fantastic time! Our guide Seb was very knowledgeable and good at spotting birds. We spent ages at the hummingbird sanctuary and throughout the walk saw tons of bird life. The only negative comment was that lunch was back in town at 4pm once we had finished the hike, we were only provided snacks up to then.

Hi Patrick. Thank you very much for making us part of your adventure in our mountains. We are very happy to know that you had a memorable experience. We send you a big hug.
Very VERY impressed with the services provided, transportation, guides, accommodations and the overall experience. Getting to over 16,000ft was a dream come true for me. And on a side note, all of Colombia was enjoyable, 2.5 weeks there and I enjoyed every minute
We are happy to have achieved this dream with you, thank you for enjoying our country every minute. We hope to have you back soon, we are sure you will continue to fall in love with Colombia.
Nicole shared so much valuable information with us during the hike that it allowed us to get a glimpse of the country's past as well as appreciate the beauty of Cocora Valley. We did the extra long loop, 13-14 kilometers. Though most people do the hike on their own, we're glad we had Paramo Trek as our guide. Ran into a couple who ended up doing 20 km because they got lost! Paramo also provide hiking sticks if you need. I highly recommend sticks coz coming downhill is no joke! Paramo Trek is a very good hiking outfit, very organized n professional from beginning to end. Highly recommend!
We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your tour of the Cocora Valley, thank you for choosing us to accompany you.
Even for just one day, it’s a great alternative. To get off the beaten track, to discover the culture and the ecosystem. A very nice meeting with Diana, who introduced us to the best of the Cocora Valley. Bag of snacks then small restaurant on the terrace on the way back to Salento, which can be done without waiting for a Willy for an hour… Very professional service from A to Z, you can book with confidence..
It was great to accompany you on your experience in the Cocora Valley, thank you very much for trusting us. We hope you come back soon.
