Salento and the Valley of Cocora

From Medellin we reached Salento, the first stop on our southbound journey to Ecuador.

Salento is a cute and colourful village located between Pereira amd Armenia, mostly famous for visiting the valley of Cocora. These giant palm trees have become one of the icons of Colombia.
