Salento Coffee Region

Salento is a small town with peaceful streets selling hand crafted items and of course coffee. It's surrounded by in thick lush forest. We stayed in the Plantation House for three nights. On the first morning we were given a tour of the coffee farm and shown the process of making coffee from scratch.

On our way into town, we brought a sweet snack that this lady was making on a post in the middle of the street, it tasted like melted caramel marshmallow and was pretty sickly!







Just a day trip from Salento is Valle de Cocora were went on a five hour hike up to the hummingbird sanctuary and up into the mountains! The scenery from the top was  amazing. We were lucky enough to get the executive seats on the way, hanging on to the back on the Jeep.
