Things To Do In Salento: Hiking Cocora Valley

Continuing from my previous post. After Pereira, I traveled to Salento. An hour away from Pereira, lies the beautiful town of Salento. A must-visit town when in the Colombian Coffee Region.

I got down at the intersection rather than going to Armenia and get another bus back to Salento. From the intersection, I hitchhiked…

Amazing Hot Springs In Santa Rosa de Cabal, Colombia

Continuing from my previous post. After Jardin, I traveled to Pereira with a short stop at Riosucio. I had breakfast at Riosucio bus station.

She even gave me a small discount on breakfast. These kinds of encounters always made my…

When I get down from the bus, many taxi drivers approached me but I flatly said “NO” as I wanted to take a local bus to reach my hostel. This one taxi driver asked me where I am going and…
