Franklin Cruz - MY FUN TRIP TO THE COFFEE REGIÓN OF COLOMBIA

Final Project: Franklin Cruz Quintero

MY FUN TRIP TO THE COFFEE REGIÓN OF COLOMBIA

In my last vacations I had really wanted to visit the coffee región of Colombia, then I made plans with my wife and a couple of friends to go for a walk. I want to share my experience because it was fun and I visited many spectacular places.

We leave the City Friday at midday, but there was heavy traffic in the city, then that delayed us a long journey. The idea was to arrive Friday to Manizales, know the city and sleep there. The next day we went to a place well knew in the coffee region called thermal “Santa Rosa de Cabal”, there you can enjoy spectacular thermal pools and a waterfall of cool clear water to cool off after the thermal bath.  At that moment, the world cup was taking place and Colombia and Uruguay were playing a match; it was fun to watch the game in this place because there were many people and the atmosphere was very lively and cheerful and as Colombia won the party was much better.
When we leave the thermal and the end of the afternoon we went to visit another town in the coffee región called Filandia, a small beautiful town coffee for its architecture and the kindness of the people, we had dinner there and enjoyed the evening.
The next day we went to visit another very touristy place called “Parque del Café” in Armenia, it´s a place for all tourists who visit the coffee region. In this park there are many games and there is also a very nice museum coffee where the whole process of coffee cultivation and production is explained.
After visiting the “Parque del Café” we had just a day's ride, which we would like to know the town of Salento, which is very knew for its handicrafts and the typical food of the village that is trout and fried plantain.
It was a very fun ride because we visited many special places and keep many beautiful memories of each place we visited.


Thanks.
