The best time to visit Colombia
Let your Colombian adventure begin
The Zona Cafetera, also known as the Coffee Triangle, is a verdant region nestled between the western and central Andes. Covering the hills and valleys, there are sprawling coffee plantations and quaint fincas (farms) galore, many of which are more than happy to welcome visitors, and showcase the process of getting from the bush to the bean. Zona Cafetera's temperate climate, which makes for such prosperous coffee growing (Colombia is one of the world's largest producers), also results in a beautiful setting to escape into for a while. Explore scenic hiking trails amidst towering wax palms, your eyes peeled for animated birdlife and primates, splash in the waterfalls of JardĂn, or soar overhead in a hot air balloon.

The aroma of freshly-ground beans enveloping wafting through the lush scenery, coupled with the stories of generations of coffee growers, offers an intimate insight into the world's favourite brew.
Beyond the coffee fields, Los Nevados National Park is a wild wonderland, and home to some of the tallest peaks in Colombia.
The harvest takes place over two periods - April to June and October to December, but bear in mind that this is when the farms are their busiest.
