The coffee region is in the heart of Colombia, and is possibly the most beautiful area of the country. I decided to stay in the tiny town of Salento to explore the surrounding coffee plantations. Salento is a beautiful little town of brightly coloured buildings surrounded by incredibly green mountains and coffee plantations.
I stayed at Plantation House, a coffee farm offering incredible views over the mountains.
Whilst in the area I thought I should take a tour of the coffee farm to see how the Colombians produce such amazing coffee. The manager of the coffee farm guided us around the 12 hectare farm containing waterfalls, a bamboo farm, a beautiful flower garden, a fruit plantation of every shape and sized fruit imaginable and of course, the coffee plantation. It was interesting to experience the whole process of coffee production, and we were able to produce our own coffee by picking, peeling and roasting the coffee beans to eventually create the perfect cup of coffee.
