Overview

Introduction

It is a one hour flight from Bogotá to either Manizales, Pereira or Armenia, the three cities which form the axis of one of the most beautiful and fertile regions in Colombia. Here the pre-Colombia culture runs deeper than the Spanish legacy. Such is the importance of this region that it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This landscape of dark green coffee fields, vast valleys and towering snow capped mountain peaks is where age old haciendas cultivate the famous Arabica coffee beans. Colombia is synonymous with coffee - arguably the best coffee in the world. There are over half a million coffee farmers in Colombia which produces 12% of the world's production. Orchids flourish in the area and hummingbirds abound - a veritable paradise.

The area is classed as a tropical Andean forest and is at a height of between 1,300 and 1,700 metres

The three cities are all different. Manizales represents culture with its museums and monuments, Armenia was completely reconstructed after the 1999 earthquake and Pereira known for its nightlife and gastronomy - the 'City Without Doors' as nobody here is treated as an outsider. At least three nights are required in the coffee zone based in either Pereira or Armenia.

As well as guided tours of the cities, there are fascinating tours of coffee haciendas for a full explanation of the growing and processing methods and visits to traditional colonial towns like Filandia and Salento in the Valle Del Cocora, which forms part of the Parque Nacional de Los Nevados. Colombia's national tree, the Quindian wax palm grows here. These palms can reach a height of 60m and are the tallest in the world.

A fascinating, beautiful region and the very heart of the country.

Highlights of the Coffee Axis Region:

Private half-day guided tour of Armenia, Pereira or Manizales - The three cities are all different. Manizales represents culture with its museums and monuments. It is perched atop the razor’s edge of a ridge at 2,150m in elevation, offering views of the snowcapped Los Nevados mountains. Armenia was completely reconstructed after the 1999 earthquake and Pereira known for its nightlife and gastronomy.
Private half day tour of Jardin Botánico del Quindio - This is one of Colombia’s finest botanical gardens, noteworthy for its many bamboos and palms. A guided walk leads through 37 acres of tropical woodland rich with birds. Almost 50 species of butterflies flit about inside a walk-through enclosure.
Private half-day guided tour of a coffee plantation - A guided tour of one of the coffee haciendas will help you appreciate coffee’s hallowed place in the national psyche of Colombia.
