  • Hiking Cocora Valley is a MUST DO! Salento and Cocora Valley are some of the most beautiful (and probably our favourite) places in Colombia. We highly recommend going to Cocora Valley and seeing the tallest palm trees in the world!
    Cocora Valley is located just outside of Salento, Quindio, Colombia and is home to the tallest palm trees in the world. It's also home to some of the best coffee in Colombia because it is in the Zona Cafetera (eje cafetero). Come with us as we hike Cocora Valley and explore this beautiful part of the country!

    🙂👍 Hello ERIC&SARAH, congratulations and thanks for sharing your brief visit to [part of] the second most biodiverse area in the world!
    🤩🏡 LOVELY FACT | The beauty of colorful ARCHITECTURE that is enjoyed in Salento, Filandia [...]; It is of SOUTH FRENCH-NORTH IBERIAN geographic medieval influence [HONDARRIBIA, SAINT-JEAN-PIED-DE-PORT, ESPELETTE (...)] and SAILOR and PYRENEAN PEASANT Vasco-Paysan [Country] social influence, with Kimbaya [First Nations] touches.

    • @krissson8392
      @krissson8392 Рік тому +1

      👨‍🌾🏞️👩‍🌾 | The sonorous term PAYSAN [peɪˈzɒ̃/paísa] means PEASANT in French. Its accentuation is equally of FRENCH influence.
      🌴🌴🌴 DATA PLUS | The linear "pattern" of the "PONCHOS" is of Asian influence [Tallit]; Specifically from the Jewish culture of the Middle East. The bread is called "Parva", this from the Judeo Ladina jargon.
      God bless you!

    Eric estoy viendo su hermoso video y voy en la parte donde hablas de el café de exportación y el que tomamos los colombianos y DEBO decirte que esa información no es correcta , en Colombia 🇨🇴 esos granos de café que están secos en la planta se desechan , en el tour les deben haber mostrado el proceso completo desde la recolección , hasta la tostada y obviamente ese café duro y disecado en la planta no ha tenido ese proceso
    Los Colombianos también tomamos café de excelente calidad , colado y recién hecho en cualquier lugar y más en las zonas cafeteras

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  Рік тому +2

      Muchas gracias que me correcta! Estoy seguro que hay mucha gente colombianas que toman muy buen café como los granos rojos. Solo es que creo que les exportan mas de los rojos y dice el guía que los secos quedan en Colombia. También quizás esta finca solo exporta los granos rojos. Sabemos que cuando vamos por café con dulces, es súper buen café. Cuando tomamos café con locales en casa, normalmente es instante de Juan Valdez jajaja muchas gracias y dios te bendiga!

      Hi Eric , thanks for sharing that beautiful video of Salento area , it is part of the Coffee triangle . I’m sorry they gave you the wrong info about our wonderful coffee.
      1. Every coffee bean is picked ripe, red , juicy and perfect like the one you show in your right hand , then is pealed, washed ( fermented ) rinsed and put to dry under shade for few days , then it is ready to be roasted ( dark , medium, light ) .. Coffee to be export requires specific standards of quality . what you are holding in your left hand is garbage NO one can use it to make coffee.. Coffee is part of our culture so we still drinking good quality coffee every day
      I will be sending you a video on Instagram
      I hope you guys stopped by La Sultana Del Valle CALI ❤
