Salento is one of the towns that make up Colombia’s eje cafetero (coffee triangle). Sitting at 6,200 feet above sea level, the area has perfect conditions for growing some of the world’s best coffee beans.
With its mountains, rivers and palm trees, this is one of the most beautiful natural enclaves in the Coffee Region Cultural Landscape. There, you can go fishing, trekking or horse riding. You can even go camping in this magnificent place.
It’s similar to Salento but less crowded. *Great restaurant & coffee Filandia, being bang smack in the middle of Colombia’s coffee axis, is surrounded by some epic scenery. Think rolling lush green hills dotted with grazing horses, misty snow-capped mountain backdrops, and dusty dirt paths leading to centuries-old coffee haciendas. For the best views in town, head to La Colina Iluminada; a 19-metre (62-feet) tall wooden structure that gives you views across the three Zona Cafetera departments and, if weather permits, means you might even spot the majestic Parque Nacional Natural Los Nevados in the distance.
