More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You stand on a grassy lip above the Cocorná valley as wind tugs at the wing—below, coffee plots and two narrow waterfalls spill down the hillside like quicksilver. The pilot runs you through the checks, the canopy opens like a patient animal, and you step off; the valley breathes around you as the town roofs shrink and the river threads the landscape.
