As of today, in season, building toward peak (~December 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Cocora Valley near Salento, Quindío, is the best-known stand of the Quindío wax palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense), Colombia’s national tree.
The palms punctuate montane cloud forest and páramo transition zones; the landscape and biodiversity are viewable year-round, with clearest vistas during the region's two drier windows.
