The coffee region through the eyes of a coffee hater....

Tried and failed again to get into coffee. 6 days in Colombia's coffee region (La Cafetera) has done nothing for my love of the stuff. Give me hot chocolate or tea any day.

Fortunately La Cafetera does have other things to offer besides coffee beans....






The thermal springs just outside the town of Santa Rosa de Cabal are pretty cool. And hot.

The town of Salento is situated near the Valle de Cocora. Did a 5 hour hike there on Saturday, fortunately without a hangover. The scenery is quite special...









At the Acaime nature reserve you get a hot drink. Hot chocolate. And a piece of cheese...












Went on a tour of a coffee finca which is owned by the English guy who owns the hostel I stayed at. Pretty interesting to see how it's picked, processed etc.
