Uncovering Salento, a Town in Colombia’s Coff

From full-on lessons in producing, growing, roasting and brewing Colombian coffee to night markets filled with stall-upon-stall of local bites, Salento was a charming and picturesque introduction to Colombia’s infamous coffee triangle. Despite being just a tiny town within the Quindio department, the quality of coffee that can be found here (alongside the beautiful Cocora Valley) is what put this place on the map. With its rolling green hills, bustling nightlife, beautiful hilltop views and colourful buildings, I couldn’t get enough! Be sure to take the time to explore both during the night and day! #createwithtrip

Finca El Ocaso Salento

FROM BEAN TO CUP ☕️.⠀ ⠀ Did you know that an average worker in a coffee farm can pick up to 100kg of ripe coffee cherries PER DAY?!⠀ ⠀ This is the staggering amount we learned is normally collected by individual pickers (by hand!) during the two picking seasons the Ocasa Coffee Plantation sees every year. We spent an afternoon exploring the sights, sounds and smells of the Ocasa Coffee Plantation to learn all about how our favourite cup o’ Joe is made. From planting the seed, to picking the ripe cherries and sorting the beans, we learned heaps about the process and admire the work that goes into producing coffee beans so much more!⠀ ⠀ 📍Ocasa Coffee Plantation, Salento, Quindio, Colombia⠀ #leaveyourmark
