Dakota Vega: Salento and the Cocora Valley: the Best of the Colombian Coffee Region

I confess, this is an instant crush on this area, with its landscapes, with its people. And no, I was not wrong. Nature that impresses, that leaves you with your mouth open and screams for you to come back. It is the image par excellence, an emblem of the country. I invite you to visit the best of the Colombian Coffee Region for at least two days enjoying Salento and the Cocora Valley.The Coffee Axis is a very large area that, by itself, deserves to spend several days on it. But we are going to concentrate the best of the area in two very well spent days. The plan? Visit a charming town, walk among incredible landscapes and discover the secrets of the exquisite Colombian coffee. Not bad, right?We are facing the most famous and touristic town in the entire Colombian Coffee Region. And no wonder. The small town of Salento seems to have come out of a painter's canvas. Narrow streets full of colorful houses, music and a good atmosphere everywhere. All this wrapped in a wonderful environment. You will discover all the shades of green surrounding what for me is one of the most beautiful towns in Colombia.It won't take you long to discover the essential places to visit in Salento. But I advise you to do it calmly, to savor it and enjoy the moment. A good place to start is to go up to the viewpoints in the upper part of the town: the Salento viewpoint and the Alto de la Cruz viewpoint. It was right here that I noticed a detail. Salento from a bird's eye view has a more than reasonable resemblance to the city of Trinidad in Cuba.
