One of the first things anyone thinks about when considering Colombia is the world-famous coffee that comes out of the country. While you can see first hand here where the coffee magic happens, it also is a gorgeous place to visit. Small quaint villages with traditional architecture dot the landscape while the local hot springs, parks, even bird watching tours offer the outdoor lover a taste of paradise. Montezuma is one of the favorites when it comes to the best place to see a truly diverse population of exotic birds.
An incredibly beautiful day-long hike takes you through some of the country’s most exquisite scenery. Cutting through the mountains, the Cocora Valley is a great place to view the national tree: the Colombian Wax Palm.
Backed by gorgeous mountain scenery, this town is definitely what the Coffee Triangle is all about. You can see tradition and history in the streets and buildings. And with plenty of gourmet food (and of course world class coffee) you’ll certainly be satisfied.
The hub of spa tourism here, Termales de Santa Rosa offers an amazing hot spring set amid the lush tropical forest. Cascading falls and a stunning backdrop are all you need to totally relax.
The Coffee Triangle experiences two rainy seasons, the first one from March to May and the second from October to November. During these periods, the region receives more rainfall, which is crucial for the coffee crops. While the weather may be wetter, the Coffee Triangle's beauty comes alive with lush greenery and blooming coffee plants.
The dry seasons in the Coffee Triangle occur from December to February and from June to August. These are the best times to visit the region, as the weather is typically sunny and pleasant. The dry seasons offer excellent opportunities for coffee plantation tours, where visitors can learn about the coffee production process, from planting to harvesting. It's also an ideal time for outdoor activities, including hiking through the rolling hills and exploring the picturesque towns of Salento and Filandia.
