Airport Transfer: Matecaña to Salento

Salento is the Coffee Region's most iconic tourist destination and one of Colombia's most sought-after. This colorful town of traditional bahareque architecture is the gateway to the legendary Cocora Valley, home to the Quindío wax palms — Colombia's national tree and the tallest palms in the world. From Pereira's Matecaña Airport, the 35 km route crosses the heart of the UNESCO Coffee Cultural Landscape.

The journey takes between 45 and 60 minutes via the road crossing Armenia and ascending into the mountain range. Our professional drivers know this tourist route perfectly, including coffee farm access roads, the Cocora Valley turnoff and the best photo spots along the way.

Salento deserves an arrival worthy of its charm. Don't waste time at bus terminals or bargain with uninsured informal taxis. Our executive service with white-plate vehicles and current FUEC takes you directly from the plane to Salento's main square, your coffee finca or boutique hotel. We can arrange Cocora Valley pickups, coffee hacienda tours and dedicated driver service during your stay.
