Things To Do
Coffee tour
Immerse yourself in our mountains for an authentic experience where you'll learn about sustainable coffee production, from seed to sip. At the beginning of the tour, you'll receive a hat, poncho, and basket—traditional accessories of the coffee culture. You'll then navigate through various stations along safe trails, surrounded by flowers and fruit trees, handpicking the ripe beans from our coffee plantations, just like the harvesters do daily in a productive farm within the Coffee Cultural Landscape.
Termales Santa Rosa de Cabal
At Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs you can enjoy exclusive amenities while we take care of you through a biosecurity program and strict protocols that will make you feel safe in the middle of nature. Discover a place among the mountains of the coffee cultural landscape where you will feel calm and connect with nature through unique wellness and relaxation experiences for your mind, body and soul.
Valle del Cocora
We went here on our first trip together, it holds a special place in our hearts. This is the place that inspired the Disney movie, Encanto. A must-see in the coffee region is a natural landscape that is located specifically in the department of Quindio, characterized by being the home of the national tree of Colombia: The Wax Palm. As well as a great variety of Flora and Fauna, much of it in danger of extinction, protected under the status of national natural park, this place is located among the main tourist destinations in Colombia.
Salento
Visiting Salento in Colombia is like stepping back in time. Undisturbed by the country's recent economic development, sleepy Salento is lined with colourful streets and quaint coffee shops where days are easily lost watching the world go by. The entire town is easily walkable and has become a gateway to some of Colombia’s best hiking trails, like those in Valle de Cocora and Los Nevados National Park. It’s become a must-visit for travellers to Colombia, and for good reason. It’s not hard to imagine yourself staying here for a while. Conside visiting Salento and the Cocora Valley in the same day as they are very close to each other.
Filandia
Filandia is one of the best towns to visit in the Coffee Region of Colombia. It’s become quite the tourist hotspot over the years and has many colorful buildings all over town. Filandia, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, boldly refers to itself as “the most beautiful town in Quindío”, much to the chagrin of its rival town, nearby Salento. While in Filandia, you can’t miss having lunch at "Helena Adentro” this restaurant encourage's you to share and enjoy their menu including small and large plates inspired by travels blended with Colombian traditional dishes. Sit back and enjoy with a unique cocktail list designed by Helena's team, a local beer or a glass of Argentinian or Chilean wine in an ambience designed to enjoy a whole afternoon or stay long into the night!
Parque del Café
Located in the heart of the department of Quindío and immersed in the natural wealth of the Coffee Cultural Landscape, declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Parque Del Café is a journey through the customs of the coffee tradition. A unique place where coffee is the true protagonist, accompanied by landscape, culture, fun and art.
Cartagena de Indias
Although it’s not close to the wedding venue, if it’s your first visiting Colombia you must visit Cartagena. Cartagena is a city that is located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, in the northwestern part of the South American continent. If you are wondering where is Cartagena in Colombia, it is located in the north of the country and is the capital of the Bolívar region. The city has several archipelagos and islands around that are paradises for true rest. Cartagena de Indias is known, brings together the charm of colonial architecture, the excitement of a vivid night life, fascinating cultural festivals, and lush landscapes, to bring you the perfect vacation experience. The city’s beaches beckon, inviting you to unwind and enjoy yourself in the refreshing breeze and warm waters of the sea. But that’s not all Cartagena has to offer— the city also has excellent cuisine and a thriving hotel and tourist infrastructure.
Bogotá
If you’re flying through Aeropuerto el Dorado in Bogota, we recommend you consider spending at least a night in Bogota. Bogotá is the capital of and largest city in Colombia. It is a place of convergence for people from all around the country and is therefore diverse and multicultural. Within this city, the past and present come together. The city is also very green thanks to its parks and the hills that extend along its eastern boundary, dwarfed by their two highest points, Monserrate and Guadalupe. The landscape that the people of Bogotá enjoy daily—the sea of green that makes up the Andes mountain range, rising up in the east—would be nearly impossible to find in any other large city. But Bogotá also has the colors of modern buildings and authentic colonial roof tiles that are a true historical treasure from the colonial era.
Cali
If you want to see where the couple was born and raised, we invite you to visit Cali. Cali is the capital of the Valle del Cauca and its a city whose tourist attractions have their own history, active cultural life, and musical rhythms that are famed around the world. Cali's music, thanks to the city's rich ethnic diversity, ranges from the currulao of the Pacific coast to the city's star: salsa, the contagious, frenetic rhythm that is ingrained in the country's culture. Cali is known by the rest Colombia as the "Rumba Capital" and by the world as the "Salsa Capital", thanks to its characteristic street parties and dance.
Medellín
If you’re considering flying through Medellin’s international airport Jose Maria Cordova, which is a 50 minute flight to Pereira’s airport, we recommend spending some time here as well. Medellín, capital of Antioquia department, has a pleasant climate as it is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, this city is always friendly to visitors. From the mountains that surround the capital of Antioquia you can see how the Medellín River runs parallel to the Metro, which connects various parts of the city. There is an abundance of parks, libraries, museums and public spaces where many Cultural events take place. Flowers have their own fair and in the surrounding villages life is simple with relaxing landscapes and nature reserves.
