A short flight from Bogata brings you to Armenia, the capital of Quindio, the heart of Colombia’s coffee region. Set amidst lush rolling hills and mountains, on a stay of a few days you can visit small family farms and learn all about “coffee culture.”  But there’s also lots more to do in the region to entice you to stay a while than a java fix: thre’s hiking the Corcora Valley, horseback riding, paragliding, hot air ballooning, zip lining, floating down the La Vieja river on a bamboo raft, and more.
