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.
