How much are 4 Days in Colombia’s Coffee Region

Colombia’s Coffee Region is a must for everyone that loves green landscapes. Don’t worry if you don’t like any coffee, there’s plenty to do here. The colourful facades of Salento and Filandia seem like a daydream. How much I spent in 4 days travelling the Coffee Zone aka Eje Cafetero or Zona Cafetera here in this post:

My itinerary for 4 days in Colombia’s Coffee Region

Day 0: Fight from Bogotá to Pereira

Day 1: Salento and hiking in Valle de Cocora

Day 2: Day trip to Filandia

Day 3: Coffee Farm near Salento, then back to Pereira

Day 4: Relaxing at the hot springs in Santa Rosa, late flight back to Bogotá

*What I did on day 2 and 3 can also be done in one day, but might be stressful

Recommendations

The most important thing on this trip was probably my rain jacket and the cover for my backpack. It was quite rainy and that’s also typical for that region in Colombia.

If you look for more info about Colombia’s Coffee Region, I’ve written an extensive post about what to do, how to get around and where to stay and eat.

Keep on travelling

Grüß dich, I'm Viki!

At Chronic Wanderlust, I write about my two great passions: travelling and diving – and have been doing so since 2013.

I usually spend a solid majority of the year travelling to experience extraordinary underwater adventures, taking road trips through countries I don’t know (yet) or exploring my home country of Austria.

As a certified divemaster, passionate underwater & travel photographer, road trip enthusiast and individual traveller, I collect unique moments all over the world.

I don’t believe that severe cases of wanderlust – aka chronic wanderlust – can be cured, only treated. On this blog, I want to show you how this can best be realised.
