Coffee in Colombia

The coffee region is beautiful and we stayed for a few days at Salento, a lovely small town in the hills. We went on a coffee tour on the plantation where we stayed. Was very interesting even if Dee cannot stand the drink!

We hiked in the Cocora National Park, famous for its very tall Wax Palm trees (national symbol of Colombia) and more hummingbirds. Transport here is by Jeeps, called Willies! Standing on the back is normal.

On another long hike we started with a JR (Jack Russell) in tow and return with two more!

We camped for a couple of days a bit further north at another coffee plantation in the middle of nowhere along a dirt track.

There were oranges to pick in the garden to press for delicious juice!
