COLOMBIA'S Coffee Triangle

alejoaoa · April 7th, 2010, 04:17 AM

In Colombia, the departments of Caldas, Quindío, Risaralda, southern Antioquia and northern Valle del Cauca are known as the Coffee Triangle. This is where most of the colombian coffee -considered by many as the best in the world- is harvested.

In June, the region was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Very nice landscape shots... and this is totally unbiased by the fact that I am an absolute coffee junkie.

I would really adore to visit your country, nice and modern cities, beautiful landscapes and the coolest people you could ever meet

Thanx for showing more places, some of them unknown to me.

WOW, wonderful thread, alejoaoa. All the pics are just beautiful.

Speaking as a bona fide coffee addict, I really need to go and make some coffee now! Colombian, of course!
