There is a place in the world where you can wake up in the middle of coffee plantations. 24 hours to feel the aroma of the best coffee in the world, a region that blends the green of the mountains and the white of the snow: Colombia´s *Coffe area.

According to the UNESCO World Heritage List, this is the heart of Colombia where the *Coffee Region expands to 6 farming landscapes, 18 urban centers, 47 municipalities, 4 major Colombian cities in the departments of Caldas, Risaralda, Quindío y Valle del Cauca.
