Have you ever wondered where does the “best coffee in the world” come from?
One answer may be from the so-called “Colombian coffee triangle”, a region that produces what many consider to be the top coffee selection worldwide.
The cities Pereira, Armenia, and Manizales are a paradise to coffee aficionados who would enjoy discovering a bit more about the origin of their favorite beans.
Let’s take a closer look at the history and culture of these intriguing coffee destinations.
Pereira is the biggest city in the Colombian triangle and a powerful commercial point in this region.
It is the capital of the Risaralda department whose dynamic urban life has a lot to offer to both businessmen and tourists.
In Pereira, you can join the charming tours around the coffee farms, explore nature in the National Nature Park of Los Nevados or admire the hot springs of San Vicente and Santa Rosa de Cabal.
When night falls, get into the bustling nightlife of Pereira by visiting the main street that is full of bars, clubs, and international restaurants.
Santa Rosa de Cabal
Manizales
Manizales is the capital of the Caldas department which is embraced by captivating mountainous landscapes.
It is a mid-sized town with a dominant colonial influence in contrast to the other cities in this triangle.
Visitors describe Manizales as the perfect getaway destination from the mundane urban atmosphere as it nourishes a rich yet meditative coffee culture admired by tourists around the world.
Also, it is a place of natural and cultural attractions such as thermal baths and the International Theatre Festival.

Armenia
Armenia is the capital of the Quindio Department and a representative of a slower, more relaxed city life in the Colombian Coffee Triangle.
In this city, you will find a wide variety of cultural sites such as a museum that presents the valuable work of the indigenous Quimbaya goldsmiths or ancient botanical gardens.
If you participate in some of the coffee tours offered, you will get the chance to explore coffee farms and witness the process of coffee cultivation.
We recommend Armenia either as a day trip or a charming weekend getaway.
When in Armenia, make sure not to miss a visit to the small-town gem of Salento.
Located at just a 45-minute bus ride from Armenia, Salento will lure you down its main street, known as “Calle Real”, lined with shops that display local handicrafts and coffee products.
When you reach the end of the street, climb the stairs until you reach the point that offers a panoramic view over this delightful town.
The main attraction in Salento is the Valle de Cocora, so make sure you add it to your travel plan. This magical place is nestled in the green mountains above the town, reachable either by a local Jeep or a horse included in many of the tours in Salento.
Explore the marvelous nature full of palm trees or spend the night camping in the valley to get a full experience.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
