Coffee Zone

The Coffee zone is characterized by the rugged green mountains of the Andes, coffee haciendas with their plantations, welcoming people, and superb birding options.

 

It is here where Colombian coffee is produced and processed. Don´t miss out on visiting a traditional coffee farm where you can taste Colombia´s best coffee and observe the whole process, from seed to end product.

 

The region is also famous for having the highest palm trees in the world. You can visit them in the spectacular Cocora Valley where you can hike under the huge palm trees and in the nearby cloudforest.

 

Don´t forget to try some of the delicious trout as well and many villages in the region are known for their  crafts, making them the place to buy souvenirs.
