Explore one of the smallest but prettiest regions of Colombia! The Quindío region, known for being the coffee birthplace of Colombia, is safe, touristic, colourful, culturally rich and filled with the most attentionate people. It is definitely a must when visiting the country. Being Colombian myself, I have visited this corner of the world about five or six times already, and it is my favourite place in the whole world (for real). This was exactly my itinerary for my last trip there, when I got to bring my boyfriend to this magical place for the first time and he absolutely fell in love with it as well. Here are some of the activities we enjoyed: - Guided coffee tasting tour - Folkloric dance show - Coffee culture museum - Guided tour around a botanical garden - Visit to the special butterfly nest - Horseback riding through the mountains - Hiking to the source of thermal waters - Spa day and relaxation ... and so much more. Everywhere you turn your head you have the most amazing view, surrounded by nature and its infinite shades of green, with hummingbirds and butterflies filling the space. You will taste some of the best coffee in the world, learn how that became the backbone of the agriculture of the region, appreciate the local cuisine and, the best part, is that most of my recommendations are sustainable tourism! In this itinerary I will not only give you activities and hotels, I will also explain to you how things really work there, what documents are normal to provide hotels with for example, or the best way to contact places and people. The reason I don't give restaurant recommendations in this itinerary is because you can find good food everywhere, in every corner, for every budget, and everyone has different tastes and/or restrictions, which I cannot possibly account for by providing options and alternatives. This being said, I can assure you, yummy food is not what you will miss in Colombia (especially fruits, try as many as you can). I hope you enjoy! xx Nicolle
