Highest Palm Trees i've ever seen!

My first quick stop after leaving medellin was Salento. It's a really small town next to a Palm Tree invested valley called Valle de Cocora. I spent the day hiking with an australian buddy through this beautiful place. Most of the land has been cleared by farmers except for Palm trees which remain due to their protected status. It's quite surreal to see 60m high palm treas standing at various elevations along a mountain side with nothing but grass around them. Also, we stopped an a mountain house and got to see various species of hummingbirds feeding. Nice to be out of the city and see some nature!
