Surrounded by lush green mountains, coffee plantations and the famous Cocora Valley, the village of Salento offers an exceptional living environment for nature lovers. The climate is mild and temperate all year round, with pleasant average temperatures. Local products are fresh, abundant and inexpensive. You can enjoy delicious Colombian coffee, exotic fruits and typical dishes (trout in all styles, bandeja paisa, chicharon...)
The people of Salento are renowned for their hospitality and kindness and it's true, I felt very welcome there. It is easy to make friends and integrate into the community.
Salento and Quindio also offer a slower and less stressful pace of life than in big cities.
You can practice many outdoor activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding and trail running, which I am a fan of!
The surrounding nature and peaceful lifestyle promote physical and mental well-being, in short! It's good there.
And it's also an excellent starting point to explore other regions of Colombia, like the Pacific coast, the Andes or the Amazon region.
Salento is one of the most beautiful villages in Colombia, certainly one of the best known and most visited, located in the department of Quindio, a few kilometers from the sublime Cocora Valley, known for its famous wax palms, the tallest in the world!
Quindio is a paradise for the soul. Without doubt the most peaceful department in Colombia. The impression that dominates here is a feeling of fullness, calm and fusion with Mother Earth. Its green landscapes, its small villages, its mountains and majestic volcanoes, the Cocora Valley, its coffee plantations, its horses, its hats, its people. And the traditional Willys jeeps, which will take you to Cocora, to the coffee fincas or wherever you want to go, will make your stay cheerful and colorful.
Are you sporty? The Salento region also has many hiking trails, for walking, running, mountain biking or even horse riding.
