General description
Located in the department of Tolima, La Carbonera, also known as the “Wax Palm Forest,” is the densest wax palm forest in Colombia. Situated in the central mountain range of the Colombian Andes, deep within the cloud forest, this place offers breathtaking views, ideal for those seeking to connect and relax with nature. The ascent can only be made in a 4×4 vehicle or Jeep Willys, making it a less visited, quieter, and more peaceful destination; if you are a nature lover, this tour is designed for you.
We will begin the journey by vehicle to Finca El Cielo, located at approximately 3100 meters above sea level, halfway along the road to La Carbonera. Clemente will welcome us with delicious coffee and provide an introduction to the fascinating cloud forest. Here, you will have the opportunity to plant a wax palm or native tree, contributing to the fight against deforestation and the transformation of the land. After this experience, we will continue our journey, passing the line that marks the highest point and division of the Quindío and Tolima departments. Then we will descend to the coal mine at 2900 meters above sea level. There, we will venture into the trails of one of the densest wax palm forests in Colombia, hike towards the Tochecito waterfall, and finally, enjoy lunch at the traditional Colombian farm “Doña Marleny,” who will surprise us with her delicious cooking and the daily menu. At the end of this unforgettable natural experience, we will begin our return to Salento, taking with us the memories of a truly unforgettable adventure.
