The best time to visit Colombia
Let your Colombian adventure begin
Forming a triangle around the leafy lushness of the Zona Cafetera, the towns of Manizales, Pereira and Armenia all provide excellent jumping-off points for a deep dive into the world of coffee. Armenia is the capital of the fertile QuindĂo region, the coffee axis of the entire country and an area that is so serious about its beans it has been granted UNESCO World Heritage status. The landscape is a handsome mix of terraced coffee fincas dotted with giant banana trees, bamboo jungles, and, in more recent years, a crop of countryside hotels offering thermal pools and exquisite restaurants for a truly idyllic stay. Once you’ve got to grips with the ins and outs of the coffee-making process, head out and enjoy the scenery on a horseback ride, hot air balloon trip, or even by paraglider.
Located in Colombia's Coffee Triangle, there are a variety of activities for nature and culture enthusiasts alike. Visit a coffee farm to learn about the coffee production process and enjoy tastings. Explore the lush landscapes of the Cocora Valley, home to towering wax palms and stunning hiking trails. Discover the Quimbaya Museum to see pre-Columbian artefacts, or relax in the botanical gardens. Enjoy the local cuisine, featuring dishes made with fresh, regional ingredients. Don't miss the chance to visit nearby towns like Salento, known for its colourful architecture and vibrant arts scene.
