Colombia is known the world over for its rich coffee, and there is nowhere better in the world to try this full-bodied blend than in the coffee region itself. Located in the upper western part of the country, Colombia’s coffee region is known as The Coffee Triangle since it is spread over three different departments: Caldas, Risaralda, and Quindio. The area, locally nicknamed the Zona Cafetera, is centered on the towns of Pereira, Salento, and Armenia, and is thought to be one of the first rural areas in South America to open itself up to tourism. This explains why there are so many family-run coffee plantations or fincas, that you can visit and even stay at, many of which boast picturesque colonial-style properties surrounded by stunning landscapes of lush green hills, cloud forests and unique vegetation.
