Hiking
The Cocora Valley is most famous for the Quindio wax palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense), the national tree of Colombia.
It is considered the tallest palm species in the world and can reach an impressive height of 60 to 80 meters.
These palms grow very
slowly and can live for over 300 years.
The name „Cocora” probably comes from a princess of the Quimbaya culture and translates to „Star of Water”.
