Cocora Valley (Valle de Cocora)

Route Typology: Andean Cloud Forest & Pasture Loop. Located in the buffer zone of Los Nevados National Natural Park near the colonial town of Salento, the Cocora Valley is a corner of the UNESCO Coffee Cultural Landscape (Paisaje Cultural Cafetero). It serves as the primary sanctuary for the Quindío Wax Palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense)—the national tree of Colombia and the tallest palm species in the world, capable of reaching heights of 60 meters. The trail transitions through open pastures, crosses suspension bridges over the Quindío River, and climbs into humid cloud forests where the palms rise strikingly through the mountain mist.

The Three Capes Track is a 48km point-to-point trekking route within Tasman National Park, Tasmania. Starting at the Port Arthur Historic Site with a marine transfer across the bay to Denmans Cove, the route traverses the high sea cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula. The track is highly engineered, featuring wide gravel paths and boardwalks that provide safe access to vertical dolerite columns reaching 300 meters above the Southern Ocean. Management is handled by the Tasmania Parks & Wildlife Service, with a regulated north-to-south flow. The route transitions through diverse environments including coastal heathland, dry sclerophyll forest, and temperate rainforest.
