Cocora Valley

Cocora Valley

Cocora Valley is a green mountain valley famous for the tallest palm trees in the world, which stand like giant feather dusters against the sky. Misty hills and grazing cows fill the peaceful landscape.

People love Cocora because the wax palms are so tall they look almost magical, like something from a dream. The cool air, walking trails, and rolling green hills make it a favorite for families.

The giant palms

The wax palm is the national tree of Colombia and can grow taller than a ten-story building. They tower over the green hills and sway gently in the mountain breeze.

Weather

The valley sits high in the mountains, so the air is cool, fresh, and often misty. A warm jacket and rain boots help you enjoy the muddy, magical trails.

Activities

Families hike gentle green paths, cross wobbly wooden bridges, and visit a spot where colorful hummingbirds come to feed. Some ride horses across the meadows.
