Cocora Valley

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Cocora Valley, located in the heart of Quindío, is one of Colombia's most iconic landscapes. Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in the characteristic mist of the Andean forest, this valley is renowned for its towering wax palms, a national symbol and protected species. It forms part of Los Nevados National Natural Park, guaranteeing the conservation of its unique flora and fauna. Its cool, humid climate, with frequent rains, creates an ideal environment for hiking among the mountains and natural viewpoints.

Waterproof footwear and warm clothing are recommended, as the terrain is often damp year-round.
