It's 8,000 to enter this. To be honest I don't think it's worth it. The building is interesting but as a mirador there are a few others that are free that are just as good.
The Angel mirador - take the street that runs from the left of the church. We felt that was a much better view and it's free.

My wife and I went on the tour of the reserve (guadua means "bamboo tree") in a cloud forest. Carlos was our guide, and for over two hours guided us through the forest, explaining the ecological issues that allow this marvelous place to survive. This survival is aided by the commitment of Carlos and his colleagues of the Kasaguadua Foundation, who are committed to preserving the forest. This was not only an educational and inspiring tour, but also provided a hike through beautiful scenery. It is free but donations are accepted (and really, really you should donate if you go on this tour). It is a short jeep ride from Salento, but also walkable. Don't miss it if you're in Salento!

Best option around the region to discover a coffee plantation. No too small, not too large that might take you hours. This "Coffee finca" or plantation is perfectly located 10 minutes away from Filandia town, in a breathtaking view point of the whole region. They serve a diverse and delicious types of coffee and drinks for every taste.
Please know that I like a more intimate tour, instead of a full of people team park style, so if you agree with me, this is your place. Book your English tour with time, and customize it to your needs. The owner himself gave us a fantastic tour. Very entertaining and also very educational and inspiring. Something I did not expect, as it is not like a thematic park, it comes from the reason the finca was formed, the needs for it, and the love for this land. You will understand the passion, the heritage, and the culture that this region and its people have to offer just talking to this guy.
Thank you so much for a great service, a great tour and we will be back!

Go to this finca for your coffee tour! It's a 1-1,5h bike ride from Filandia and you can take a jeep (it's called whilly here) back. It's a beautiful scenery, but if you don't enjoy
going downhill on dirt roads you can also go both ways with the car. The owner, Javier picks you up at the police station in Quimbaya and takes you to his finca, with an amazing view over the valley and his ecological coffee plantation. First he showed us around his little jungle, and explained all the 1000 different plants, flowers and birds to us. After enjoying a tasty juice at his place he showed us how they select, dry and roast their beans in their small factory before we enjoyed a cup of coffee (with fresh cow milk from his cows if you want to!) on his balcony. He was incredibly nice and friendly and really enthusiastic about his farm and his "respeto por la vida". We loved our stay there and could have easily extended our stay for a few days there, if we had the time. He also offers 2-3 bedrooms for guests. Muchas Gracias Javier!

This is MUST experience if you visit Filandia. Only groups of 10 people or less, to enjoy walking among this gorgeous place. It is not for everyone, you need to be in good shape. Make sure to bring hiking or rubber boots, extra clothing or bathing suit, water, some fruit. It is just great!

Transfer from the meeting point established previously to Filandia, the daughter of the Andes in the Eden, which is Quindio in Quimbaya language. We visit a private nature reserve, where you walk through a sub-Andean forest. There you can see a sample of the biodiversity in fauna and flora of Coffee Cultural Landscape and perhaps see red howler monkeys in the wild. Afterwards, we go to Filandia, w

We were hosted by Christian who walked us through the plantation and the coffeemaking process. He answered all of our numerous questions. At the end, you get to taste their coffee (included) and some of their pastries (extra).
The tourism activity of this finca is fairly new (1 year) and less "industrial" than it's neighbors - we were alone in our group so was the following one.
