*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.

« For any nature lover looking for an unforgettable adventure, the Hacienda Boutique Santa Rosanna in Santa Rosa de Cabal is the perfect place. It's more than a stay; it's an opportunity to become part of a living coffee hacienda, and Alexandra and her staff truly make this place magic.

The living coffee tour is an experience you'll never forget,...

« We (group of 4) were delighted by this beautiful hotel. It is set on a mountainside surrounded with fruit and coffee plantation. Our rooms were clean and bright, with modern ensuite bathrooms. We enjoyed our meals in the dining area, with fabulous view over the valley and distant hills. The swimming pool and hot tub were clean and lovely. Best of all - the staff are wonderful, helpful, cheerful, friendly and so patient with us travellers. Only one challenge: the road up to the hotel is in poor...

« La chambre était très bien, seul bémol : le bruit, on entendait la cascade d'eau très fort dans la chambre car il n'y a pas de double vitrage aux fenêtres, très mauvaise isolation. Honnêtement le bruit était très fort, et ce, toute la journée, pour dormir c'était compliqué. Nous avons demandé à changer de chambre mais ils n'ont pas pu. Autrement le restaurant est bon, le petit déjeuner aussi. »
