Following some advice from locals and some internet research (see links below) we decided to go to Aguades, Salamina and Manizales. We didn\u2019t follow a predefined routed but developed our way on day by day basis. It is very easy to find hostels in most places and prebookings are usually not necessary (especially if you travel in off-season as we did). In general, it is easy to travel in this region, buses are cheap and go on a regular basis. However, the roads in the Andes region are narrow and winding. We also experienced that a lot of construction was going on. This means that it really might take a while to get from one place to another. It took us about 5 hours to get from Medellin to Aguades and another 3 hours from Aguades to Salamina. Our conclusion: Don\u2019t plan too much and long distances, but enjoy the amazing views over the mountains that you can get on many of the routes!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE GALLERY 1.7.62 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id='unitegallery_79_1' class='unite-gallery' style='margin:0px auto;'>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"Colombia -

You\u2019ll find a lot of information about Cartagena,\nMedellin (including Comuna 13 and Poblado), but there are also some interesting\nplaces about which is just limited information available. Even in the towns\nitself, it was difficult for us to get proper information about it, but it was\ngreat to visit these places and we\u2019ve enjoyed them a lot! That\u2019s why we\u2019ve\ndecided to share it here on our blog. These places are in particular the coffee\nfarm \u201cFinca La Silencia\u201d and the Bosque De Palma De Cera &#8222;La Samaria&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finca La\nSilencia Coffee Tour <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A short hike (about 1 hour or so) away from Salamina you can find nicely located in the hills the \u201cFinca La Silencia\u201d a traditional coffee farm. It is a nice place and its already a little adventure to get up there because there is on the last few kilometers no road but only a small path through amazing nature. We learned a lot from Gladys. She welcomed us on her farm and guided us through all the process and answered all our questions (and more). The finca was recommended by Felipe, a local guide. He also translated the tour because Gladys doesn\u2019t speak English or German and our Spanish is not sufficient to understand everything.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE

About 600kg coffee berries\/fruit end up in 125kg roasted coffee (which is \u201cuna carga\u201d). In Colombia, the usual process is the wet process which means that the coffee fruit is mechanically separated from the bean (contrary to the \u201cnatural processing\u201d in most other places of the world where the bean is usually dried in the fruit. The finca \u201cLa Silencia\u201d is a rather small and traditional coffee farm. It had only about 3ha coffee plantation. Still, there are some even smaller farms, but also much bigger ones. We also participated at a coffee tour at Hacienda Venecia in Manizales. This is a farm with 130 ha coffee plantation (overall 200ha farmland including cacao and other). That tour was also interesting and gave us insight to the coffee business on a different scale (and is also a nice location), but if we would have to opt for only one tour we would choose the Finca La Silencia, because we really go an individual tour and could follow all steps of the process on our own. The tour was a very special day for us. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE GALLERY 1.7.62 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id='unitegallery_84_6'

or in most cafes is not. It was strange for us to learn the Colombians usually drink coffee of subpar quality (the good quality is manly for export), but also the preparation of the coffee is \u2013 let say \u2013 questionable. Usually, you get \u201cAmericano\u201d style coffee, which is a very light coffee mixed with water. If you want to have a proper coffee, you have to order \u201ctinto oscuro\u201d or just \u201cun oscuro\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want\nsome milk in your coffee don\u2019t ask for \u201ccafe con leche\u201d (you will get a cup\nmilk with very little coffee), but \u201cun oscuro con un poco leche\u201d. If you are\nlucky you will get something that comes close to what we think is proper\ncoffee. The only place where we found really good and tasty coffee in Salamina\nwas the \u201cFinca La Silencia\u201d (we\u2019ve never had a fresher coffee experience) and\nthe La Exclusiva Caf\u00e9 (directly on the main square \u201cParque Bolivar De Salamina\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">San Felix\nand Bosque De Palma De Cera &#8222;La Samaria&#8220;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also visited the Bosque De Palma De Cera &#8222;La Samaria&#8220; ?. It is one of the few places where you can find the rare \u201cPalma de Cera\u201d (wax palm). It can grow more than 45 meters high! In the Bosque De Palma De Cera you can find more than 3000 of these trees (which is way more than in the famous Cocora Valley) and the views are just amazing! It is a bit tough to get there, but we think it was worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE GALLERY 1.7.62 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div

There is a bus at 6 o\u2019clock in the morning or you take a taxi (or hire a private driver). There are busses back about 1.30pm, 2.30pm and at 5pm (Jeep), but this might change from time to time and it was difficult to get proper information in Salamina (even at the bus station!). It seemed that even in Salamina is San Felix a bit of a secret place. However, they are building a better road at the moment and it is possible that it might be easier to get there in the near future. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE GALLERY

END UNITEGALLERY --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is about 3 km from San Felix to the Bosque De Palma De Cera &#8222;La Samaria&#8220; and another 2 km to the <em>mirador <\/em>\u201cValle de la Samaria\u201d (viewpoint) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/miradorvsamaria\/\">@miradorvsamaria<\/a> where you have a good overview of the area. It is a nice hike and we enjoyed it quite a lot. At the mirador, you will find a nice family who started 3 years ago a project to reforest the wax palms and to make it accessible for eco-tourism. You can rest there, get some food and learn about the Palma de Cera. They are very hospital there. It might be a good idea to contact them in advance and ask about the current bus connections from Salamina or Manizales. You can also make a reservation for the small restaurant at the mirador (not because it is very crowded, but because they need to prepare the food). They told us that they also plan to open a Glamping place. We think that it can be a great place for a few relaxed days in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mirador is more than 2900m above sea-level (which is roughly the\nsame as the top of Zugspitze \u2013 Germanys highest mountain, but in the Andes\nregion, not particular high). Take warm closes it can be quite fresh there in\nthe morning. It is close to the village of San F\u00e9lix which is also a nice place\nto visit, but also a little sleepy. We enjoyed again the tours outdoors in the\nfantastic nature of Colombia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Additional information:<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Finca La Silencia (Tel. +57 313 38 00 603)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Felipe Toro \u2013 Local Guide in Salamina (Tel. +57 315 83 46262) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mirador\n\u201cValle de la Samaria\u201d (Tel. +57 314 611 58 99, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/miradorvsamaria\/\">@miradorvsamaria<\/a>, email: <a href=\"mailto:miradorvsamaria@gmail.com\">miradorvsamaria@gmail.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hacienda Venecia (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.haciendavenecia.com\/\">http:\/\/www.haciendavenecia.com\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/south-america\/colombia\/articles\/11-stunning-alternatives-to-salento-in-the-zona-cafetera-of-colombia\/\">https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/south-america\/colombia\/articles\/11-stunning-alternatives-to-salento-in-the-zona-cafetera-of-colombia\/<\/a> (we don\u2019t agree to everything\nwritten here, but in general is was helpful for us)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We decided to visit the coffee region in Colombia, but not to follow the most popular route (including Salento and the Cocora Valley).
