Salento

Valle del Cocora

I'm now in Salento, which is a pretty little town in the heart of the coffee growing region and on the edge of the Los Nevados national park. Not much paragliding that I know of, but a had a lovely walk today in the Cocora Valley, which is dotted with wax palms - the world's tallest. Very scenic indeed.

Went on an educational coffee tour today and then had a lazy afternoon staying out the rain and watching the lightning before getting back on the road to find some serious paragliding. Arrived in Ansermanuevo, in the valley de Cauca, this afternoon. Proper paragliding spot here. Small town, not touristy but used to tourists, reminds me of Algondonales in Spain (but a bit more lively!). Didn't get to fly today but expecting to make at least 100 kms tomorrow...
