点评:Absolutely stunning hike. We were able to get a willy jeep for Salento town there and back. Cost 22,000 COP for two of us. The jeep ride up was so cool. Saw amazing views. Would recommend riding on the back of the jeep. You get to see it way more. The jeeps run every hour on the half an hour up till 6:30pm. I recommend going early to beat the crowds and it's more likely to rain later in the day.
We did the lower hike that was considered easier. It's called the Cocora valley loop. It takes 4 hours to complete. It took us a bit longer as we were stopping to look at wildlife and take pictures. We did the walk counter clockwise, which meant a lot of climbing up hill, but the walk down through the valley then was amazing. So worth it doing it this way. Get the hard bit over first and then have time to enjoy the views and the valley of the wax palms. It's very rewarding.
Need to wear proper trail shoes, we also brought hiking poles which were very helpful. Bring snacks and water as there are not many places to stop and eat along the trail. Also bring rain gear, it's very changeable.
翻译:绝对惊艳的徒步旅行!我们租了一辆威利吉普车往返萨兰托镇,两个人一共花了22000哥伦比亚比索。坐吉普车上山的旅程太酷了,沿途的景色美不胜收。推荐坐在吉普车的后座上,这样能看到更多美景。吉普车每小时一班,每半小时一班,直到下午6:30。建议早点去,避开拥挤的人群,而且当天晚些时候下雨的可能性更大。
我们选择了海拔较低的那条比较容易的路线,叫做科科拉山谷环线。走完需要4个小时。由于我们停下来观察野生动物和拍照,所以花了更长的时间。我们逆时针行走,这意味着要爬很多山,但下山穿过山谷的路程非常棒。这样做绝对值得。先克服最艰难的路段,然后才有时间欣赏景色和蜡棕榈树成荫的山谷。非常值得。
需要穿合适的越野鞋,我们还带了登山杖,非常有用。带上零食和水,因为沿途没有太多可以停下来吃饭的地方。还要带上雨具,因为雨量很大。
