“I’ll be honest there were definitely good and bad parts of this tour. I only had one day in Quindio region. My flight was changed the night before but luckily, my guide Juan Pablo and driver, Jorge were able to adapt their schedule. They were at the airport ready for me as soon as the plane landed. Both were very friendly and engaged in conversation. We stopped for a small breakfast then we went on to Valle de Cocora. It was beautiful to see the tallest wax palms in the world. The region is very green and luscious. Juan Pablo took lots of great pictures of me which was helpful…”
