Highlight 

The Coffee Triangle, located between 1,200 and 1,800 meters above sea level, has a warm and humid climate (18 °C to 26 °C). It is home to towering wax palm forests (Ceroxylon quindiuense) and cloud forests filled with birds and butterflies. Travelers can visit coffee farms to learn the process from seed to cup, enjoy horseback rides through trails among coffee plantations and sugarcane fields, and hike the Cocora Valley in Salento, where wax palms soar up to 60 meters. Other highlights include the Samaria Valley in Salamina and La Carbonera Forest in Toche, perfect for admiring biodiversity and panoramic landscapes of Quindío.
