*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.

"Excelente instalaciones y la atención de primera muy recomendada "

"We stayed at Casa La María for 2 nights, the house has a lot of character, bedrooms were ok. Beds comfortable enough and covers to keep you warm at night. Bathrooms clean, hot water takes a little bit to come out but it works. Kitchen is outdoor, we didn’t use it, we did hear racoons in the early morning digging through the garbage. Short walk to the plaza. Communication with host was easy. "

"Excellent stay with an amazing view. The location is perfect because it has the best of both worlds-right in the town, walking dustance to all of the shops and restaurants, but situated at the perfect vantage point to enjoy the gorgeous Corcora Valley. The breakfast was also really good."
