Salento - Sunday

Last day in Salento, tomorrow (Monday) begins the trip to Cartagena, about 20 hours by bus.
Today we try agaa trip to -
Cocora Valley Trek is a landscape of rolling green hills, traditional farms and diverse scenery. This is a great day trip which begins with a jeep ride to Cocora village (3,000 Pesos) where you set off on foot to visit Acaime nature park. This 2 hour section follows a forest trail winding uphill to the park where you can get refreshments and spend a while admiring the hummingbirds. From there, the best way to return is via Finca La MontaƱa which involves an initial one km uphill followed by a couple of hours on a good road winding through groves of Wax Palm Trees up to 60 metres tall.
