Considered a World heritage site by Unesco, the Colombia Coffee Zone or the Triangle of Coffee, as its also called is a topographic region that comprises the departments of Caldas, Quindio, Risaralda and all the southeast region of Antioquia. Initially known for the production of rubber found on the local trees, this wonderful place is ideal for ecotourism, discovering and tasting coffee and to rejoice at the marvelous landscape of the coffee fields. One of the most interesting places found in the area is the National Coffee Park, located in the municipality of Montenegro in Quindio. The site lets the visitors see how the coffee is produced, walk trough the typical farmer houses - with their ample and colorful doors-corridors, explore the gardens that explain the different varieties of the coffee grain and do entertaining horse rides. If that's not enough, you can have fun in multiple mechanical attractions and enjoy live presentations like The Coffee Show and The Secret Of Nature that features animatronics and animated projections over holographic screens that give information about the flora and fauna found in Colombia. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from
John Blondel Goldman. The region is considered one of the best rural destinations in South America and proof of that are the beautiful Haciendas that retain the traditional architecture of the zone - some of them have been transformed as exclusive hotels. Around the Coffee zone you can also find golf courses, see the breathtaking landscapes of the Cocora Valley and its wax palms, practice extreme sports and do ecological hikes in a place full of exuberant vegetation. The Colombia Coffee Zone a destination like no other!
