*HIDDEN GEM, THIS IS NOT COCORA*

DESTINATION: LA CARBONERA, Salento, Colombia - Be one of the first to lay eyes on an unspoilt paradise!

In Salento, Colombia there is a palm tree forest sitting at 3000 meters called "La Carbonera". People usually come to Salento to visit Valle de Cocora to see the 900 tallest palms in the world, however La Carbonera has 2 million palms making it the largest in the world and is entirely off of the radar, you won't find it on Google or in any guidebook.

La Carbonera has only been visited by 900 tourists since 2016. Only one tour company has permission to show people this beautiful valley. 20 years ago the entire region was occupied by rebel forces which has kept it off of the tourist route.

This is also the only place you can spot the yellow eared parrot, a bird species that was considered extinct in the 90s until later rediscovered in La Carbonera. 400 live in the area and can't be seen anywhere else in the world.

HOW TO GET THERE: @SalentoCycling are the only tour company that can take you there. The guys drive you to a view point with a delicious picnic. After you'll have the chance to walk into the forest before biking 20km downhill back into town (not for the faint hearted!) 100,000COP/£28.

Top Tolima Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mirador de la Montaña

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very friendly and the place is very peaceful "

Hotel El Mirador del Cocora

10/10 Excellent

"Where do I begin? The most stunning view of the beautiful mountains from our terrace with jacuzzi for a romantic evening with a glass of wine, the room was beautiful and the bathroom gorgeous, very upscale. Sadly we only stayed two nights and wished we stayed much longer! Food was delicious and service excellent. We can’t wait to come back again! I would give it more than five stars if I could. You won’t be disappointed!"
