*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.

'De kamers zijn heel basic, het bedrag dat je betaalt is puur voor het waterpark. Let goed op of het waterpark wel open is (alleen weekenden en puentes). Het zwembad is zonder glijbanen ook leuk (en wel lekker rustig vergeleken met weekend). Jammer was dat de glijbanen op zaterdag niet werkten en geen compensatie werd aangeboden, geen goede service. Ontbijt was prima, lokaal en vergelijkbaar met andere hotels. '

'Claudia was by far the greatest host you can ask for. From organizing our transportation from Medellin to delivering one of most romantic nights we as a couple had. Claudia organized an in house Chef (Juan) for an candle lit dinner underneath the stars. The food was amazing throughout our stay. The house is something from a movie and details were amazing. The property has a dock just foot steps away from the house where you can do water activities or just hang out by the water. We would like to...
