Incredible tour, highlight of my trip to Colombia!

Natasha_W, May 2026

I absolutely loved this tour! It was the highlight of my trip to Colombia and one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Our fantastic tour guide Jeffrey and our driver picked us up in a Jeep and drove us about 2 hours away through forest and farmland to the wax palm reserve. The reserve was breathtakingly gorgeous, and Jeffrey led us on a moderately long hike through the reserve, stopping often to share his wealth of knowledge about the plants, animals, and insects in the area. Jeffrey has a biology background, and he was so excited to show us things and clearly was very passionate about his work. He provided a vegan bagged lunch for us (we specified that we were vegan) which we enjoyed while overlooking the beautiful wax palms. After finishing the hike, we rode back down and stopped for a delicious traditional Colombian lunch (made vegan especially for us) at a small roadside restaurant where they had several friendly dogs who joined us. Jeffrey then took us to see a small waterfall near the restaurant, and we also saw several beautiful hummingbirds. My one tip would be to bring good hiking shoes, because some of the ground is soft with occasional potholes that you can’t see, and I found it a little bit precarious (but still doable) with regular sneakers. All in all, this was a fantastic tour with an exceptional guide and driver. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Salento who wants to experience a beautiful hike and be immersed in nature.
