Cocora Valley tour
Enjoyed this morning visit to Cocora Valley. We did a short trek up to the high view point with Yasmin our guide explaining about the landscape and providing other interesting information about nature in this area. It was kind of her to bring coffee for us to enjoy. A beautiful place. Glad we took this tour.
