RE: Hiking in Cocora Valley, meeting condors, hummingbirds and coatis

in #travelfeed6 years ago

By the description you make in the post and by what I could check online, the place is simply awesome and wonderful ... You're right, a whole trip of relaxation, nothing to do with other adventures you've had; but, definitely, it seems a tremendous tourist recommendation. From what I read, both Salento and the Cocora Valley are among the main tourist destinations in Colombia ... Always the landscape and environment of the mountain wasteland associated with the Andes mountain range, in one of the most attractive places for tourists, especially when we want to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities.

The Cocora Valley is located between the upper courses of the Quindío River, the main fluvial course of the homonymous department, at a height between 1800 and 2400 meters above sea level. The valley is located at a distance of 24 kilometers northeast of the departmental capital, Armenia, in the jurisdiction of the municipality of Salento ... In general three landscapes stand out: mountain landscape, piedmont landscape and valley landscape. Being the latter, the most visited by domestic and foreign tourists, who throughout the year arrive to enjoy this beautiful ecosystem.

There, nestled between mountains and Nevados, is the Cocora Valley

If we remember one of your previous posts, "Volcanic Devastation of Armero", the Nevado del Ruìz volcano, the cause of that tragedy, is located or belongs, like the Cocora Valley, to Los Nevados National Natural Park; for that reason I place a photo that I thought was spectacular, where you can not see the valley as such, but if you can see two of the snow-covered mountains that live in this area: the Nevado del Ruìz (with its volcano) and the Nevado del Tolima :

The first one we see in the photo is the Nevado del Tolima, the second is the Nevado del Ruìz.

I congratulate you for tremendous choice and recommendation; I will see if in the not too distant future I reach that area together with my family.

Sort:  

Do so, but heed my advice and go strictly during week as on holidays and weekends there's a shitshow and crowds everywhere

Perfect @ nameless-berk, I will take your recommendations into account. Thank you. Greetings.
