Worth every penny - We really enjoyed our day out ! There was a festival in Salento so doing this tour we managed to miss some of the crowds! Lunch was delicious! Coffee farm was great but take bug spray as the mosquitos bite if they like you.

Day well spent in Salento - Nicholas was a good guide who showed us great views of Cocora Valley and the Buenos Aires coffee farm. The lunch was delicious as well. Don’t miss out on standing up in the Willy jeep and taking in the breathtaking views of Salento and the valley.

We had the best day!! - This was the perfect tour for our limited time in Armenia. The tour company was excellent and allowed us 5 min grace period in the morning since our taxi was late and we hit a lot of traffic getting to the meeting spot. The tour included a great hike allong the Cocora Valley followed by traditional lunch and finally a stop at a coffee farm for tasting and tour of the coffee making process. Our tour guide Cesar was AMAZING!! He is so knowledgeable and friendly. He really made this experience unforgettable. He was very patient with all the photos we wanted to take and answered all our questions. I would 1000% recommended this tour to anyone who wants to visit the Valley and the coffee farms. Even with limited time, Cesar made it work. They are awesome!

Authentic Tour - Great tour, very authentic. Nico was friendly, patient, flexible with the schedule, forthcoming (helped with my bag and took photos), explained a lot about the nature and the region. Natalia from the Buenos Aires farm was superb, great knowlege and engagement and had a good handle of the large & diverse group. Then lunch, the Jeep ride and the music were also nice highlights of the trip!

10/10 - book it and don’t hesitate! - Would highly recommend this tour. Worth every penny. Our guide Andres was incredible. He had amazing English and was so friendly and kind. He arrived early and came with water, was able to answer any questions we had and was very informative when it came to the hike. We had a delicious meal with a lovely view and then went onto the coffee farm Buenos Aires which was really good. Anderson was our guide here and he was great fun and we loved picking the beans and tasting coffee! Thanks again Andres! We loved every minute!!

Great but the Coffee Farm has creeps - Had a great experience the tour guides took up on a small hike that overlooked the cocora valley followed by a jeep ride down the valley to a great little restaurant with a wonderful overlook. Here's where things change, the coffee farm guide (female) was wonderful and took us around sharing the whole process. However the males are creeps. There was a group of females in our party and after the farm tour we went to purchase coffee, one of girls (25) was selecting her coffee bag and one of the males (he might even be the owner based on his demeanor) is just staring her up and down. You can tell she is uncomfortable so she just grabs a coffee bag and goes to the register to get away. Then the same guy/owner looks at the cash register guy and gives him eye brows and they nod at each other as she is checking out. He (primary male) then leans over the counter to stare at her butt as she checks and leaves the area. Watching her butt the whole time. It was so awkward and you can tell the girl just wanted to get away. The tour itself was wonderful but the Coffee Farm experience did put a damper on the whole thing. Btw the coffee farm they used was called Finca Buenos Aires
