  • SOLO BACKPACKING COLOMBIA EPISODE 6 - SALENTO
    There is SO much to do in Salento and the area around it. I stayed at El Viajero hostel in Salento. Took a day trip to Filandia to visit the secret double waterfall. Hiked the 5 hours loop in the famous Cocora Valley and visited one of the many coffee farms in the area.

    You can find good quality of Coffee in Colombia of course in fine places such Juan Valdez But not in those cheap places. The expectation is to find the best coffee everywhere in Colombia it’s a shame that isn’t the case.

    The cheap colombian coffee is called "tinto" here. It became part of our culture and it is usually offered to anyone when visiting a house. High quality Coffee like Juan Valdez is still a market on the rise here but you can find lots of organic coffee here in Colombia which taste delicious 😋
