Peace in Salento
After the craziness of Cali, I needed a bit of rest and peace. Then I went to the coffee region, in a small town called Salento, to relax and get some fresh air.
It is one of the biggest coffee producing region, and one of the only place in Colombia where you can drink "acceptable" coffee. Most of colombian production being exported to the US or European markets...
Also at 20min by jeep, we accessed an amazing valley where giant palm trees (200 years old and 30m high for the tallest...) are sourrounded by beautiful mountains. We hiked a whole day from the green fields to the jungle tracks and discovered a recluded place where hundreds of humming birds (colibris) would come to eat and drink!
What an incredible experience!!
