About this tour

Discover one of the best-kept secrets of the Coffee Region with this 2-day plan. The adventure begins in La Carbonera, a little-explored natural paradise and home to one of the most impressive wax palm forests in Colombia, which you'll tour aboard a traditional Jeep with a local guide.

On the second day, you'll experience coffee culture from the inside at Finca Buenos Aires and visit the colorful town of Filandia. A plan that combines nature, tranquility and tradition, with transportation, meals during the tour and two nights of lodging included.


Quick facts

  • Duration: 3 days and 2 nights.
  • Activities: La Carbonera sanctuary by Jeep, coffee tour and visit to Filandia.
  • Includes: Jeep transportation, guide, lunches, snack, 2 nights of lodging and entrance fees.
  • Starting point: Salento, Quindío.
  • Difficulty level: low to moderate.
  • Ideal for: couples, families, and nature lovers.

What will you experience?

On the first day, you'll ride a traditional Jeep up to La Carbonera, where a local guide will take you through the largest wax palm forest in the area and its best photo spots. You'll enjoy a snack along the way and a typical lunch in a natural setting before returning to your hotel in Salento.

On the second day, Finca Cafetera Buenos Aires awaits, where you'll learn the coffee process from plant to cup in an authentic setting. Then you'll visit Filandia, famous for its colorful architecture and panoramic viewpoints, with a traditional lunch included before returning to Salento.

Day three is completely flexible and designed for you to end your trip at your own pace. You can use it to rest, explore Salento leisurely, enjoy a specialty coffee or shop for handicrafts, and also to complete any experience still pending. It also serves as a buffer for the unexpected: if weather or fatigue affect an earlier day, we'll reschedule activities for this day so you don't miss a thing. And when it's time to check out of the hotel, we'll store your luggage at our office free of charge until your activities end or the office closes, so you can enjoy the day without carrying bags.

We had an incredible day with our guide Jason in the Carbonera Valley. Besides the location, which is absolutely gorgeous and one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, the Cocoratours team made our day unique and special. From the little snack bags they gave us

The tour to La Carbonera with our guide Juan was one of the highlights of our time in the Coffee Region. An excellent excursion to see the famous wax palms, including a short hike into the heart of the natural landscape.
