This is a really special place and you cannot miss out if you are in Salento. I think even the most world-weary traveller would find this valley and the stunning scenery really spectacular, the wax plams in particular are astounding and even after viewing several photos I wasn't prepared for how massive they are! We caught the 9.30am jeep from the main plaza in Salento, there are tons of jeeps leaving at this time. When you get there, there are some cafes and restaurants if you hadn't had time for breakfast. As you start the hike, the road branches to the right, we took this path and it took about 2 to 2.5 hours hiking through the valley, over rickety wooden bridges and streams and then steeply uphill through the woods to come out at Finca de la Montana. The view up here was spectacular with the clouds coming in. From there it's a really easy downhill hike into the valley with the amazing wax palms. We started at around 10.15 and took 45min break at the top of the mountain, spent ages taking photos and still made it back to the carpark at 2.45 for the 3pm jeep back. There are also jeeps at 5pm. If you want to skip the hike and just see the palms, walk straight ahead instead of taking the road branching to the right and you will come out in the middle of the palms in about ten minutes.

This place has the most beautiful views, very magical! Go for a horse back riding ride and enjoy the peace.

The hike is a must if you stay in the area. You don't need a guide, it's no problem doing this on your own. If you do the whole trek you need approx 5 to 6 hrs. The scenery is amazing and very diverse.It's not exhausting, anybody can do it. There is one part for approx. 30 minutes which is quite challenging (to Finca las Montanas).

We initially planned on only viewing the palm grove at the end of the village of Cocora but ended up doing the full trek which took us the whole day. This was because the change of scenery, from the palm grove, to beautiful view of the valley from high up the pass near La Montana, trekking through cloud forest on the way to the Hummingbird Sanctuary were simply marvelous.I highly recommend doing this trek anti-clockwise, that is, instead of turning right at the 'blue gate' and passing through the private trout farm, visiting the Hummingbird Sanctuary, etc., and saving the palm grove for last, go straight instead and visit the palm grove first, then walk up to La Montana, etc. This way, the trek up is much less strenuous because the incline is gradual. I think 90% of trekkers do this trek clockwise and we saw a lot of them struggling on the way up to La Montana which was very, very steep. Strangely though, if you enter the trek via the Palm Grove, you have to pay a fee of 3,000 COP. A visit to the Hummingbird Sanctuary is a nice detour. You also have to trek up a bit to reach the place which is why it is better to do this after La Montana instead of before (which is what will happen if you trek in the clockwise direction). The entrance fee of 5,000 COP gets you a free drink and piece of cheese. You can also order some small snacks here. However, I did not like the fact that you have to pay extra to use the toilets. They could easily have incorporated the fee with the entrance fee.
